Ideal Logic Combi 35 - leaking around siphon trap

[neildon]

Hi,

I noticed some dripping from my boiler today and upon investigation I can see that it has been leaking around the siphon trap holes at the bottom of the boiler. I took the front off and the siphon which was quite dirty with some greyish grit in the 'sump like plug' at the bottom. After a good clean and replacing siphon it still seems to be leaking. From what I can guess it seems to be maybe backing up the condenser pipe as the water is originating at the bottom of the siphon.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? I did notice the pressure was quite low so put this back to 1.5 bar.
