Looks like a bodge up white part shouldn't be visible, replace whole fitting using the correct adaptor to copper pipe.
 
:D needs replacing also needs a copper transition sleeve/piece in the top and not a normal 20mm insert
 
Ok I'll go and try and get a replacement tomorrow could this get worse like blow off while I'm in bed lol I'll turn water off from outside if that's the case

Many thanks for replys
 
Yes it could and agree turn the water off outside
 
Lol must have been when house was built 11 years ago I don't no what it's meant to look like just thought it shouldn't be leaking
 
On the black gunked up part to says 21-15 Universal
Can't see much else down hole don't think it's 25mm copper pipe looks flexi

20mm alk then you have two options either buy a reducing / conversion set (like in the second link I posted) or buy a new 20-15mm alk fitting

Short bit of 15mm from the elbow to the new / conversion and an 15mm copper olive and your golden
