Boiler leak

I have a boiler which was installed when the house was built seven years ago. 

Now it is loosing pressure and water is leaking from an overflow pipe.

Are there any tests I can perform to try to confirm that this is

definately a boiler problem and not caused by leaking radiators/pipes?

Life is short have fun !

The first thing you need to do is to stop it leaking from the " overflow

pipe " which I guess is the pressure relief pipe. The pressure relief valve may need renewing.

The first thing recommended to do in this case is to test your home water pressure. Some municipalities increase the water pressure to much and this causes the pressure valve to fail over time.

I would recommend replacing the pressure valve in any case.
