Hello Everyone, I have had to resort to a post about this as tonight I feel defeated !! after 2 months of battling with a leak in my engine room, I really thought I had it sussed ! - I have had various things to the calorifier done, including expansion tank fitted and all the joints re done, (plumer was doing some other work did this) - I have reseated the calorifier skin fitting with CT1 as I noticed this wasnt very good, - I then found a small hole near another pipe exit, where a spot of weld was missing and filled this with CT1 , really thought this was it. And yet still I find water, and a fair amount !! Alot of people say check the prop but I really dont think its this and I regularly twist the knob, but I am going to attempt to completely repack this at the weekend. For now I have put a bowl under it., I have taken some photos and even a video to try and show the issue and am desperate for some advice, I had the boat surveyed recently and he said everything was in very good conditon so am dubious to think its the hull itself leaking but starting to feel that way. I did run the eberspecher this morning for hot water and it rained lots today. I have a cratch cover and cannot figure it out ! I wondered if it was coming in through the vents but they dont seem wet ? Any help greatly apreciate, it may stop me going totaly mad.

Dear all, Well got the boat from Nantwich to Kidderminster with a young but willing crew despite the gale and a canal like pea soup due to the leaves and other debris...a real learning experience, then today, my first true time as a solo through locks etc. and despite weather forecast set fair!!... yep it peed it down, engine power loss issues and by the time I got to Stourport ( about 3.40pm after late start) I was drenched, and then the rain REALLY started!...shower, dry clothes and a beer in a local pub & all is good with the world.... ...EXCEPT!.....after all this rain should I be checking the flow rates etc. for Stourport to Worcester tomorrow?.....and if I do need to check, where and whAt am I looking for? I used to use the Thames loads and you just knew the river but the Severn is fed by a lot more higher ground and I learnt to respect nature at a young age....any advice greatly appreciated.
