    The motorised valve in my hotpress seems to be leaking.. any idea what best to do (other than out towel under it) until plumber can look at it on Wednesday?

    It's very loose on top of pipes.. almost like it's not secured properly.

    The yellow box part does not form part of the water seal.
    Most likely its leaking on the spindle which is turned by the motor in the yellow box, unfortunately not repairable and the complete valve will need replacing.

    Cool thanks!

    Going from bad to worse as unfortunately the stopcock controlling the mains is seized so think I better try and get a plumber out tomorrow.
