Hello again! id like to ask if anyone has any advice on how to seal the steam pipe into the boiler, Because recently ive found a leak ( using 90733's meths burner and high pressure saftey valve) The oulet at the bottom of the boiler starting blowing steam out and nearly put the wick out! Anyone please give me tips on how to seal or fix this problem!

Take off the dome, there should be a metal washer, O ring and spring in that order up from the pipe. Make sure all is well IE the spring isnt bent and the O ring isnt perished. If all seems OK try adding another O ring. That solved the same problem on my mamod.

You'd be best to silver solder the pipe on entry to the boiler
