Hi
Apologies in advance if i've missed a thread on the same issue, it could be my technical understanding.
My boiler is leaking so have had it turned off for the past few months which didn't bother me over the summer months but as winter is fast approaching figured it may be wise to look into the issue.
After removing the front facia and increasing pressure (currently on zero) the leak is just to the left hand side of the Bosch pump. I've researched what I can and I think this is called the flow sensor as its connected by wire to the pressure indicator. Its at the point where the 2 are pushed together with a square end (indicated in pic with a black arrow) with my poor knowledge to me it looks like it should be flush but the sensor pertrudes by about 5mm. I've pushed it back in a little (now sticks out by about 3mm) with what purchase I can get but its still leaking when I increase the pressure. Something I noticed is that theres a small hole (red arrow) and i'm thinking this should house a clip to keep it in place, particularly as all other fittings seem to have one.
So the questions are: should I take more parts off and push it back in properly? will this rectify the issue? do or should I do anything else (buy a new part, do I need a clip to keep it in place etc).
