Leak on Central Heating system?

Just a thought - if your CH system is on, ie hot, water will evaporate from any leak more quickly and the leak will be more difficult to find. Good luck!

The pipework was not renewed, The property is a bungalow, so only one floor is C/H. We have had all carpets and floor boards up, checked all joints under the floor, but there is no trace of a leak. I was afraid to use a leak sealer in case it would void the guarantee on the Wolsey Boch boiler. Is there any other way of detecting this leak?

you didn't mention if all pipework was renewed, under floorboards for instance, if not that's probably where the leak is, have you noticed any patches on ceilings?, one thing you could try is central heating leak sealer which you can get from a good plumbing centre, this works quite well if the leak is not too severe.
