So, I've taken the tank off and it seems the problem is a fracture of the solder/brazing of the connection (nut) where it is attached to the tank. There are also a couple of pinholes under one of the brackets, which much have been gunked up and only became evident once I started removing the tank. A tank repair kit seems like a good idea - do you think this would repair the fracture? There is some movement in the nut.
The olive on the pipe looks ok - but there is something that looks like PTFE plumbing tape wrapped around the pipe under it. If I were to replace this, would PTFE tape do the trick? (hopefully that's a universal name, not just UK).
