Mend Vaillant VCW GB 242 Boiler Leak Heating

My 18 year old Vaillant VCW GB 242?

The boiler has started losing a lot of water & needs topping up at least once a week.
I have been advised by a plumber that there must a leak somewhere in the pipework under the floorboards.Is it at all possible the boiler could be at fault ?.
