The pressure relief pipe and the condensate pipe are two entirely

Yes, got that Harry, in this case neither seems to be leaking
water.


there should be something coming out of one if/when the boiler is
running.

There has to be water coming out of the condense pipe when the
boiler is running. Are you sure that it is not blocked or
something?

We had that years ago when the condensate pipe froze, the water
backed up into the combustion 'chamber' and killed the burner. Not
happening here. Anyway these litres of refill water have to be going
somewhere and the boiler seems dry.
The search continues.

Yes okay and all of that.
But, have you even looked at the condense pipe?
There Really should be water coming out of it.
If you have not taken the time to look, then never mind.


Modern fancy rubbish, bound to go wrong. My boiler does not have the
need to condense. Why do people spend £1000s on a fancy boiler to save
them £100s on gas?


Because they don't have a choice?


Nobody forces you to buy a new boiler.
