The pipework around the hot water tank in the airing cupboard has developed several leaks after a chemical flush.

It's an open vented system.

Any ideas on controlling or fixing the leak?

Should I turn off the red valve (pic 1) that has a leak next to it and rundown the hot water?

Pic 2 a vertical pipe has also developed a leak at the top. Black water is dripping out.

Unfortunately there is still black water in the system after the chemical flush.

Any help appreciated. Thanks
