Fix away. It is only the condensate pipe.

Sorry - i have never done a plumbing before, so do i need to turn off the boiler or water supply and what will i need i.e. any plumber putty or replacement pipe.

The leak is very slow i.e. a drop per minute

check to see if the fitting comes apart its only overflow, and might of just been pushed together. if it does then get some solvent cement glue and just put back together. p.s no need to turn of your water to the boiler. turn boiler off though, in case it decides to release the condensate water. probably in the long run. best to get someone out to service your boiler. as worcester bosch boilers are notorious for the condense traps needing to be cleaned. and if you ask nice he/she might just fix your problem while there.
