I have a small pipe (Picture below) just above my boiler that I noticed yesterday has had a few drips of water come out of it, it was a fairly rainy day so thought it may be related, however thinking about it it may have been dripping for months.

Searching the internet the suggestions are this is a pipe where pressure is released if the tank upstairs has to much pressure in it?
I read I need to check my pressure gauge but I can not find one, checked boiler, tank upstairs and water tanks in loft.
As I am a complete novice I have no ideal what type of central heating system I have so no idea if I should have a pressure gauge or not, let alone any idea if this should or should not be dripping occasionally.
My home is a new build from 19 years ago, I have a boiler in the kitchen, a hot water tank upstairs and what looks like a big and a small water tank in the loft.
Please could anybody shed some light on what this drip from the pipe could be and what type of central heating system do I have?
Many thanks in advance for any replies.
Martin.
