Hi.

Since last Friday I've noticed that my boiler is losing pressure and keeps doing it despite manual refilling it.

I put it in the green to about the 1.5 mark but it will drop out the green to the edge of the 1 overnight. Then it will drop really slowly from there. It doesn't show any error codes and the water and heating still come on as normal.

I've checked all around the radiators and they aren't wet and I live in a top floor flat so would have noticed if it was the pipes in the attic leaking through by now.

I did notice quite a few drops coming out the pipe that leads outside last Sunday morning with it in the green. Then slower drips when it had dropped out the green. That's the only place I've seen water coming from.

It's council property and they were due today but no showed.

Does anyone have any clue as to what could be the problem? My main worry is the ceiling having issues if it is from the attic. But after a week it would have surely shown by now.

Thanks
