    Hi, hopfully the outcome isnt going to be as bad I think🀞
    Ive got a Warmflow "Green 90 Kabin-Pak" its about 14yr old, Boiler gets a service every year or so.

    Over the last few weeks we've notice that when the oil is fire up on the cold mornings theres a bit of white smoke but after about 10min of running its back to normal.

    Boiler wouldn't start the other day, been struggling to find someone to have a look at it, usual plumber moved away! So last night made it DIY job, as I removed the pump/burner i was greated with a flood of water.
    I removed all the water (was even in the air intake) dried and cleaned all parts and plates.
    Looks like its an internal leak as checked again this morning & there is about an inch of water in the bottom and there was no rain last night.

    Is there anyway of fixing or is it for the scrap heap?

    Thanks

    I've seen repairs on other makes, but I wouldn't hold out much hope for a warmflow.
