Leaking combi boiler

[t4turton]

Hi everyone,
I've got a Worcestor combi boiler, which is about 12-15 years old, and coming to the end of it's life. It works fairly well at present - except it leaks. Drip, drip, drip, all the time - I use a large jug and a big bucket, and empty both once a day. The bucket would probably overflow in two days, the jug in a day and a half. This is just from continuous drips from the underside of the boiler casing, at about four or five different points.
The drips slow down a bit when the system is off, but don't stop at any time.
I n to keep this boiler going for at least a few months (new bathroom coming in the spring), so any ideas how to stop the leaks? Got to go away over Christmas, so have to sort it by then!

This is just from continuous drips from the underside of the boiler casing,

You need to get in there and find the actual cause then see about getting it repaired if it is worthwhile.

Could be just a relatively cheap AAV or a more expensive DV and other various degrees of nastiness with other remedies

Does it affect your heating pressure?

doesn't appear to affect the heating very much - it still works, anyway.

Take slugs advice and have a nosey as to where the leaks originate. May just be a worn out seal or `o` ring.
