My boiler keeps losing pressure on a daily basis. If I have a faulty pressure relief valve how long would it take to see discharge from outside pipe after repressurising boiler to say 2 bar. I can't see any water from discharge pipe from outside and if the pipes were leaking I would have seen it by now as I have been losing and topping up 2 bar of pressure daily. What is worrying me is that there is water going somewhere. I can hear water filling into bathroom radiator when I top up boiler pressure. Thanks
 
Boiler cold fill pressure is 1 bar. Put a container under the discharge or tie a balloon or thin rubber glove over it that can burst easily if you don't want to wait for it. Its most often a pressure vessel issue which requires a GSR to look at it. Likely to be within the boiler casing and therefore not a DIY job. Otherwise a leak elsewhere.

I have tied a bag around discharge pipe. Only about a thimble full of water in about 4 days. I have been topping up pressure daily. Can't see any leaks anywhere. Rad valves OK. Water would be coming through ceiling by now. No pipes going underground. Thanks
 
Have you checked the condense pipe (white) for continuous discharge?
