  • Hi

    Have a look outside the house where the boiler is fitted and you should see a 15mm pipe coming out of the wall and going nowhere. This is the pressure relief valve discharge pipe ,and it might be doing just that. See if it's been dripping.
    The ultimate problem might be the expansion vessel needs re- pressurising.
