Ah that’s true. I’ve bought myself an inspection torch, I’ll have a look under everything. Cheers
Can you buy a ‘bung’ then for the draining hole?

Thank you both. Someone has suggested talcum powder for finding leaks as it leaves a trail. Have you ever tried that?

Thank you TonyT25T25 I was wondering how to post pictures!
