I've noticed the automatic air vent on the top part of my boiler is leaking. Here's a photo: http://i.*********/Elb7Xqo.jpg

It's in a position that would be bugger to replace so I'd rather not have to deal with getting it sorted right now, and I was hoping there would be a cap on it to close the vent but it doesn't have one. Is it possible to buy a new cap and put it on or something just to close it so I have heating until I can get it sorted properly?

Should I insulate vent pipes in loft (from DHW cylinder and central heating)
Hi I recently did some pipe insulating in my loft. The only two I didn't do were the vent pipes. Not sure if that is the right term for them? They are the pipes that feed water back into the top of the tanks when there is excess, presumably from steam, expansion, etc. The one going to the cold...
