Had a 30i installed by someone I very much trust on tuesday, come thursday I noticed on the boiler undertray a tiny run of green liquid coming from the underside of the return connection so he came back, nipped it all up to play safe as a precaution but said it felt tight enough already. So, accidentally left the heating on when I went out last night for a few hours and this morning there's the same emerald green leak which has left a perfect drop on the undertray but this time on the flow side, but very fresh and think it happened overnight not when I switched it off but can't be sure.
Told the plumber not to come over but I'll just keep an eye over the next few days. Called Worcester technical who said they hadn't heard of it before but said they doubted it would continue if he's tightened everything up another nip and it's probably just some reaction/settling with something and possibly a bit of oxidisation (it does look the shade of green on old copper pipe).
Not overly concerned, it's a new boiler so I'm warrantied up the wazoo, just curious as to if anyone's had anything similar and if they knew what it turned out to be??
(fyi, the system is existing copper pipes almost 14 years old, 6 old rads, 3 new ones, all been flushed by the plumber prior to boiler fitting as per, and pretty sure it was X100 he put in for the inhibitor. It's also a reasonably hard water area.)

I DO know what you're all talking about with the parts by the way. Don't think it's a leaking spindle, the water mark is higher up than that bottom point.
