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 ?.

Check expansion vessel (flat) .empty boiler. With a foot pump repressurise expansion vessel, refill boiler. Make sure no water drips from the pressure relief valve. Sorted.
