[reddog23]

merry christmas everybody ,boiler has just sprung a leak ,the flexible hose on top of the pump is dripping at quite a rate ,pressure is showing 2 bar which is quite high still have heat from all the rads any suggestions what the problem may be regards reddog

reduce the pressure (down to 1bar) should keep the boiler going and possibly slow the leak, but check the boiler regularly to ensure the pressure doesn't drop too low.

thanks for the info but still leaking quite bad

Only other option is turn off and drain down, is it the pipe split or a joint leaking.

the pressure has built up again and the only leak is coming from the red flexible hose on the top of the pump?
