Default leak in heat exchanger.

Hi all,

my "ideal responce" boiler has developed a very slow leak
where one of the water pipes enters the heat exchanger.
The connection is not a hexagonal nut but a metal flange type
fitting with two large screws and a allen key type nut on the side.

I tried to tighten these screws but they wont budge (any ideas?)
or could i possibly add some type of heat resistant sealent
around the fitting?

Is boiler finished along with my bank account (sniff sniff)
or is there any way to repair this?

any help much appreciated.

nige.
