Boiler has cold water dripping down an open pipe valve

[elsmore1]

Hi,
We have a boiler which has a break in a pipe and a plastic opening which is obviusly supposed to be there but cold water is dripping through which I dont think I have noticed before and I can hear it through the wall on the ground floor, there is no leak I think as I can hear it dripping in a pipe, but dont think I have noticed it before. I will attach a picture, maybe it dripped a litlle but it is quite a flow of water now.
Thanks

It is dripping from an unvented cylinder, not a boiler

It's either the PRV failed or expansion vessel need attention or air chamber need reset....

We need to know what make of cylinder.

You will need a G3 plumber to repair unvented cylinder.

It's a tribune he, I turned off the hot water supply valve and it stopped dripping but now our taps do not work. I am concerned the water dripping is being wasted. Is this the case?

I'd be more concerned about it dripping , rather than the wasted water

I will get a plumber to advise.

Yes called plumber that fitted it and it is the Tundish that is dripping so turned off water tap to it when not using water and they will take a look Monday but probably valve n eeds replacing.
