Worcester 28i: Overflow is dripping

[darrenh]

Thanks in advance...

My 2 year old worcester 28i is dripping from the overflow (pipe that comes from boiler, through the wall and the outside). It is dripping steadily and has been for while.

The pressure in the system needs topping up once a week (I recently started topping to pressure 1.2 instead of 1 just to extend this top up interval).

Anyway, any ideas of the problem?

cheers
