Exclamation Plumbers Mate needed - leaking overflow

Hi there,

I've got a problem with my feed and expansion tank - when I bled the radiators last weekend, the overflow from the feed and expansion tank in the loft started leaking. I turned down the water pressure at the main stop cock (that helped a bit) but since then it keeps leaking whenever the central heating's on.

Wasting water, leading to damp + I'm worried about it getting worse. The feed and expansion tank's in the loft, covered in cobwebs...so if there's a way to fix it by adjusting the central heating, water pressures, turning off some radiators, then I'm all for it. Radiators working well, not leaking, though there are banging noises from the pipework sometimes (not very often). The thermostat on the boiler is set at 60 degrees - maybe it's broken and keeps boiling the pipework?

So over to you - grateful for your help - I'm not the best at DIY so please keep it simple!!
