Default Dripping noise

Since we started using the central heating again a couple of weeks ago,
when the heating is on I can hear a dripping noise when sat in the lounge.
The noise appears to be coming from the ceiling, probably where central
heating pipes run. So far there is no water mark on the ceiling and I
can't feel anything damp but the dripping noise can be quite rapid at
times and then slow down for a while.

Is it likely to be a leak or could it just be expansion?

Thanks

John


could it be a pipe expanding - they often make a ticking like noise as they
stick/slip in a slot - does it start after the pump stars running - there
should be water in the pipe all the time so it should leak all the time not
just when the pump is running ??
