There seems to be a constant dripping of hot steaming water coming out of the pipe which hangs over the expansion tank in my (very old) central heating system. The tank is half full so the system is not empty.

Any ideas??

little more info needed here.. were is the tank in relation to the rest of the system.. ?

it sounds like low head to me .. ie: not enough height from the expansion to the system .
 
Ok so the expansion tank is in the loft space above the upstairs bathroom & the boiler is downstairs in the kitchen.

Probably, but could be an even more dangerous problem!!!

Last one I went to had a gas valve that stayed on when depowered!!!
