Hi there, looking for help with my boiler losing pressure, at least a couple of times a day since yesterday.

I have ran a few tests by closing the flow and return valves and the boiler loses pressure. This I believe means there is an issue with the boiler rather than a leak elsewhere.

When looking outside, the plastic pipe is constantly dripping. I’ve got no idea if it’s always been like this as I have never needed to look.

The copper pipe out the back of the boiler is not dripping.

The boiler is a Worcester 35CDI. Has anyone got any recommendations on what I can do next and what the issue could be?

Thanks

Whites pipe maybe a condensing pipe. Look up if you have a condensing boiler as they produce water when running which is normal.
Copper pipe is pressure realising valve. Tie a bag around and see if it fills with water as that's a test.

Maybe you have a cracked heat exchanger and water is evaporating inside boiler.
 
If water constantly drips from the condensate pipe ,when boiler is not in use ,for hours, your heat exchanger is perforated.
When boiler is working it's normal for the condensate pipe to drip .
