There is a weep from the 22mm dia copper pipe and nut below a TF1 Omega filter on the Central Heating return.
The pressure loss in minimal and does get topped up with water.
The cloth at the floor is moist.
What is the cause of the weep and what is the solution ?

With thanks

British Gas is just too big, Balloney. Go local every time ;o)

If there are no pipes going up from the boiler, then it sounds as though there wouldn't need to be much of a drain down to drop the water level below the leak.Do you feel like giving it a go?

Atheist, thanks for your wisdom - as the property is my Mothers.
For peace of mind, I shall be getting a local gas/plumbing engineer to fix the weep and also fix or replace old taps etc.

Probably a good idea; unless you're 100% comfortable to do it yourself it's safer that way.
