Is it possible to repair a water leak in an oil heating boiler. If so is it a long term solution or just a tempory fix? How much for a replacement boiler same or different make?
Thanks.

Yes but usually not worth it
Its usually a temporary fix. The standard for a leak is corrosion showing through from the wet side. Repairs usually result in a bigger hole soon after!
Varies - ask at your local heating and plumbing supplier (Plumb Centre?) for the same make and model and ask for pricing of similar models by other makers such as Firebird, Worcester, Trianco
Maybe.
Maybe.
Dunno.
It all kind of depends where the leak is, and how available parts are for your model. It could be a 1 min job, tightening up a coupling that hadn't been properly tightened at install time, or it could be that the heat exchanger needs replaced as it's corroded through, and a new one obtained.
