I have an old Ideal Classic boiler which is letting in rain water, flowing through the inside!

I had the fan changed about 6 months ago, andI’m now wondering if there is something missing from the fan outlet/vent..?!

can someone advise what I need to stop the rain coming in.

Many thanks,
Andy
 
Any chance of a few pics externally?

if its never happened before what has changed eg gutter leak above boiler of just direction of rain, or is it and actual leak from heat exchanger inside boiler either, it needs to be checked by a registered gas engineer

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
