So I've had a leak in this boiler for approximately 6 months. I hired an engineer to resolve and he suggested replacing a large black valve (I forget the name). After having the valve replaced, the leak appeared again around a week later. I tried to monitor so I could identify where the water was coming from and after a few weeks, I finally found it. I've uploaded a video here, can anyone tell me what needs to be done to resolve this?

I was charged quite a lot for the valve replacement yet the problem remains.. what should I do now?


 
In my opinion you still need the services of a qualified engineer (gas safe in uk). If it’s not the diverter valve (black plastic thing) then get whoever replaced your valve back as it’s been misdiagnosed.
 
How much did you pay ?
 
UPDATE:
The initial plumber seems to all but disappeared after having tried to contact him. After several months of looking for the leak I believe I've actually found the real leak. He replaced a valve which turns out did not stop the leak. I've removed the first video and uploaded here:


Please can someone help me identify what work needs to be done?
