Hello to all,
I've attached a picture of a ten year old hot water boiler that's leaking. The picture is from the bottom of the heat exchanger. Is there any way to fix the leak?
Thank you, Michael.

    Have a look at the manufacturers installation manual, and see what sort of joint is there between the sections, ie. rubber gaskets, or tapered metal spuds.
    That will give you an indication of what parts will be needed in the repair.--NBC

    What's the make and model of the boiler?

    You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

    Most residential cast iron blocks are 30 year warranty for water. I think 15 for steam?
    Worth checking.

    Thanks for the responses.
    NBC, I will look into that. But once I found that out, what's the process? The sections have to be separated and fixed; meaning taking the whole boiler apart?
    Ironman, It's a Unica boiler. Model MGB125HD Serial UEH14043
    Thank you. Michael.
