overflow problems....?!

[gouldymufc]

I have a good knolledge of plumbing and general plumbing processes so when the other day i had a call from my parents saying that the overflow was dripping i thought that i would have no problem in sorting the problem!

When i checked the toilet ball valve and realised that it was reasonably new i thought that it must be the CWSC in the loft...when i entered the loft i found that there was no CWSC- only a combi boiler???

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction of fixing where the mysterious dripping is coming from??

Many Thanks chaps!

Is the combi boiler a condensing one (could it be the condensate pipe) that come adrift

 

[danielp]

what kind of pipe outside is it dripping

 

[gouldymufc]

ah...there is a good chance thats the problem, if so how would i go about resolving it?? Many thanks for your help so far!

Its just a old copper pipe above the overflow from the w/c

well copper pipe 15 mm? could be expansion from combi boiler trace it back ?!

 

[gouldymufc]

right will trace it back in the morning...if it turns out the pipe is connected to the boiler, how would i go about stopping the dripping??
