 Hi Guys,

 

found a leak coming from the pipe that leads up and connects to the expansion bottle. I have uploaded a pic. Does anyone know what this is call and if it can be replaced. 

 

Cheers.

Hmm, that looks like it going into one of those nasty plastic T-connectors. Not sure what to do about that, might need to replace the whole thing with a second hand part.

You could buy a second hand replacement - Lizp on here might have one.
