You see and hear water flowing out of it's drain tube into the floor drain.
There should be a drain valve on the boiler. Drain it to the desired water level there.
Raise the pressure in the boiler until the valve relieves and note the pressure at which it does so.
Stop Boiler Valve (or Crown Valve) is installed on an outlet line of a boiler. It's purpose is isolation of a boiler from a downstream steam line. Its position may be either open or close, it cannot be used for throttling of steam.
The relief valve should be at least as large (in BTU/hr capacity) as the input of the boiler. A 3.5 million input boiler would need then a relief valve to handle at a minimum 3.5 million BTU/hr.
If there is no drain valve at the radiator you can drain the system at the drain valve on the boiler

It will cost about $60.00 to replace a hot water gasket valve on a boiler. This is if you do it yourself. If you hire a professional, they will charge you for labor and the ending cost will be much more.
Washing machines should be trapped.
It is located at the bottom of the radiator .
standby valve,
Easiest way would be to replace the flush valve, otherwise there is a washer underneath that is easily replaced
Open the drain out valve at the bottom of the radiator to allow the coolant to run out. Replace the valve and add the fresh coolant.

Not for the faint of heart! For a Combi/Evaporation boiler: Switch off the boiler. Take a reading of the boiler water pressure gauge. Shut off the radiator's thermostat valve(if fitted)/supply valve and return valves, connect a hose to the drain and put the other end into a large container below the level of the bottom of the radiator. Open the draincock first and then the air bleed valve and let the radiator drain. Close the draincock. When refilling the radiator put the anti-corrosion treatment in first then open the thermostat valve and return valve as wide as possible. when the air is expelled, close the air bleed screw. Using the fill loop restore boiler pressure. Put all thermostat valves(if fitted) to max and fire up the boiler. After the boiler has run for 10 minutes, switch off, or so go to the highest radiator and bleed out the air. WARNING: the water/steam will be very hot and likely to spit. Use a cloth as a barrier and to mop up any spills. Recheck the boiler pressure and top up as necessary.
