New boiler leak advice

[Redman23]

Hi. We recently had combi installed. Today i noticed some water underneath. Seems to be coming from this pipe with open end in the attached picture. Small amount currently. Bolter is working ok. The company who installed it are closed until tueday but will get them back out next week. In meantime wondered if anyone knew what this pipe is and if it's more urgent that get it fixed or should i turn boiler off in meantime. Thanks

Drain off if your on about the brass part ?

Yeah it is the brass part. Drain it off? Does that mean it should have water coming from it. Sorry i am clueless. What it it? Will draining it sort the issue? Thanks for your help

No chances are he’s soldered it in with the rubber washer still in or it’s not tight best to leave a tub below and you want the washer replacing when they return

Could try nipping up the square nut underneath it. Could have done what Shaun said above or only screwed it back in finger tight and forgot to tighten it properly.

Thanks for both your replies. The installer also got back to me which i wasnt expecting on a Sunday. He said he'd come out tomorrow but i could try tightening it a bit if i could first. So I've just done that and it did turn a bit. So hopefully that sorts it. Thanks for your help also

just for my education. Do you know what that pipe is
