Hi folks.

Im new to this group. I know nothing about boilers or plumming (recent
home owner) and have had a search through this group already to see if
the topic has been covered - some of the jargon has thrown me a bit!
I'd be very grateful for any advice!

Yesterday I noticed my boiler had an error code on the display telling
me to increase the water inlet (the pressure had dropped below 1.0). i
opened the tap a bit more and went on my merry way.

Do you mean you opened the filling loop valve and left it open? Could
you define "the tap" and "a bit more"? Photos are always good.

When I woke up
this morning, there was water dripping out of a small valve (some kind
of pressure release valve?) at the bottom of the boiler and I noticed
the pressure guage was fluctuating betweem 3.0 and 4.0, im guessing
that's not good.

Your guess is correct.
