Has anyone got a crystal ball ?..... Mine's knackered again!!!!!!!!
Its probably a spring loaded safety valve, they don't have a discharge pipe. They were often fitted on the flow pipe when required by the local bylaws.
Since they are not calibrated they often leak.
Check the leak has not corroded a hole through the top of the boiler casing.
Either drain down the system or pull a vacumn and replace the O ring or washer. Best of all replace with a proper 3 Bar safety valve

My horroscope this morning said I would get a question from someone with a leaky auto air vent.
Tell you what mate, drain down your heating, cut it off, take it to merchants and say givus one of these!
Then come back on here and ask what compression fittings do.
