The ancient Radiant combi is mounted on an outside wall, and there is a

Sounds like the pressure relief blow off pipe (condensate drains are not
run in copper, and should not go straight outside in a narrow pipe).
I assume that this should go into some form of drainage. This may explain
why the concrete lintel below is rotting away.
Its probably telling you the pressure relief valve is letting by -
either because the system pressure is too high, or the filling loop is
permanently on or also letting by. Most likely though is the valve is
full of crud and not reseating correctly.
Anyway, there is a rainwater down pipe close to it. Is it acceptable to
put some kind of joint in the downpipe so that the copper pipe drips into
it? The drain below is where some of the condensate will go eventually.
See my comments above. You need to establish if it is a condensate pipe
- chances are its not. If it is, it needs joining to drainage inside the
property where it is protected from freezing.
If you need manuals for Radient boilers, I have the following ones:
