Re: Boiler.

Maybe a tap on the head and wearing drainpipe trousers will help, but a leek in he buttonhole won't.

Keep a close eye on the pressure. If it is dropping, the leak will be from the pressurised side and can be topped up until the gas safe fitter arrives. How to add water should be detailed in the boiler instruction manual.
