    Outside boiler drain plug leaking
    After replacing a seal on radiator fitting , and system now sealed, I have noticed that the outside drain plug is leaking
    What effect will this have on the system (if any),pressure on boiler is steady at 1.5 bar

    Hi Carrie

    You'll lose pressure over time as you suspected. Purchase a BOILER DRAIN CAP and cap the threaded drain... should resolve the issue for you... ;)

    Can you be more specific about what is leaking, outside drain plug is just to vague for me. If it is indeed a boiler drain, do as Mark suggested, but I fear it may be a pressure relief drop tube that is leaking?
