Mend Glow-worm 30cxi Boiler Heating Leak

My Glow worm 30cxi is leaking underneath but my pressure is over 2.0?

When I turn my heating on it goes even higher up to 2.6, then I turn it off and it takes a long time (2 days) to go back to 1.9. I don't understand if it is leaking why is the pressure not dropping. Does anyone know what it might be and how much to repair?

Mine is leaking as well from the flow sensor. You need to know where the leak is coming from as there are 2 different water curcuits. The pressure display on the panel refers to the central heating which is a closed curcuit, when it heats up the water expands and the pressure increases, depending on the amount of water in the system (number and size of radiators) and the temp in the house it may take a long time for the water to cool back down. As the pressure is not falling i would assume that the leak is in the hot water system which is connected to the cold water supply and so is constantly fed (this is where i have the leak) my leak is appears to be due to a rubber o ring failure but i don't know about yours.
