HELP leak under boiler

[Hayley k]

please help.
I have a Worcester boiler. last serviced 11 months ago. I've just seen huge water stains on my ceiling. I've come upstairs to look at the boiler and the whole area underneath it is a pool of water. I can see slow drips of water coming from the white pipe. I don't know the terminology of what the pipes are called so will put a photo. there is something that I gather from Google is called a tun dish. this is full of water and the water is coming from under there. the boiler is currently still on and working fine.

If the tundish is full of water it sounds like your condensate is frozen outside and blocked which has back filled the condensate and it’s now cascading over tundish now it’s full

ive seen some links on facebook about that. our boiler has been working. i can't access the outdoor pipes as boiler is up in the loft (lift is converted to a bedroom).

Your boiler would continue working as you have had a tundish fitted which will allow the siphon inside your boiler still to flush through condensated water and unfortunately spill all over your floor where as others that do not have the tundish fitted the water is backing up into the boiler cause ignition failure

The white pipe and tundish is likely to freeze as well

I checked at 5am and it was still dripping. just been up now (10am ) and the bowl is empty.
maybe it was a frozen pipe that has now defrosted? will get someone out to check
