Classic scuttle seal failure.
It soaks into the foam on the bulkhead and drips onto the camera covers and eventually drain into the plug wells.
Eventually it will cause shorts and burn out the coil packs... Basically the water evaporates from the plug wells and condenses on the bottom of the coil packs making them rust, swell and fail. In that order.
I could tell you how to fix the scuttle leaks properly but apparently my experience of scuttle leaks is absolutely wrong.
Removing the foam from the bulkhead will help.

Who on here as any experience of these?
Looks like our old oil boiler from 1999 is pretty shot, so not worth throwing good money after bad in order to get it to limp on for another couple of years. We have a plentiful supply of wood, so commercial wood pellets for the biomass boiler would not be required. This would help with running costs. Also, I believe there is a £5000 government grant available. |
