Im not sure how old your boiler is, but if its a couple years old and the prv has opened at some point they never reseal properly and always leak. You'll end up changing it and at the same times sometimes the expansion vessel has gone too and thats why the PRV has opened so that its changed at the same time or a new one added to the system.
We done both on a worstcester last week, its a boiler off the wall job. Pain in the arse.

@konastab01 it does sometime pish out the PRV pipe outside. Can’t say it’s all the time as it’s hard to tell with the rain.
It’s more than one rad that’s weeping, 3 have shit connections and weep but only enough to need some tissue wrapped around the base of the TRV which I change every week or so as it’s wet through - these are all getting replaced next week so maybe I’ll see a difference.
Good to hear your thoughts on the leak sealer. Only read about it online and everyone rates it but it sounds a bit too good to be true.
I’ll maybe report back after the rads have been replaced. If I’m getting loads of dripping from the PRV pipe outside what does this mean?
