boiler pressure keeps going up

[cinek]

Since yesterday, the pressure in my boiler keeps going up to just over 3 bars. The water is dripping from the pipe outside, but that doesn't really lower the pressure. I tried to drain the kitchen radiator 3 times yesterday, but it just went back up in few hours. I have the worcester greenstar 24i junior. Any ideas?

Remove the filling loop, de-pressurise and leave to check.

If it only does it when the rads are on, see FAQS on how to check the expansion vessel.

I'm a bit of a noob on this. But where is the filling loop?

It does it all the time, even if I don't use it.

the filling loop seems to be leaking. I need to call a plumber to fix it.

Thanks for your help
