Is there such a thing as "wear and tear" causing joints in a new heating installation to leak within two years? As in infrequent heating and cooling of the water in the pipes causing expansion and contraction of joints?

we did a few in the late 90's

Here is an photo of the main leak, in a cupboard which is not opened often. There are photos of the main part of the system 80 metres away in my thread "Pressure drops when 650 litre buffer tank is filled with water but no drop with air" of Ictober 2016.

What a mess, chkingThe photo of the TF1 above was taken on 04 Sep 2018.
This photo was taken on 08Aug2016 during the period of the failed investigation into the loss of pressure. See the TF1 area in question on the left. The area below the topmost red valve looks suspiciously brown?
