Was the new E.vessel installed internally in the boiler or is it external where you can see it!.
Pretty sure it’s internal. The engineer took the cover off. There’s nothing outside the boiler as far as I know.

In the attachment is that a PRV on the filling system??.
It's also possible I suppose but very unlikely as I said above that the pump is pulling in a tiny amount of air through that leaking NRV each time it starts especially if the E.vessel is on the discharge side of the pump, the closer to the boiler the greater the chance, if the boiler is under warranty then that should be covered? its the only part that has direct communication to the atmosphere via the leak even though pressurized.

I seem to remember from a couple years back a Baxi engineer saying that this filling loop is old and should have been replaced when the boiler was replaced. Maybe I’m misremembering, though.Yes, I would replace it as every other possibility seems to have been reasonably exhausted. Maybe its under warranty?.
The valve thats leaking is a non return valve (NRV). the PRV I'm referring to is a pressure reducing valve called a PRV (as is the safety valve also called a PRV, a bit confusing) the pressure reducing valve above is/should be connected dirrectly to the filling hose?.
Forget my reference to that PRV, thats the isolating valve for the filling hose.
As a temporary measure you could attach another filling hose which has isolating valves at both ends, connect one end to the NRV and shut it.
