if it's dripping water constantly even when cold most likely your pressure reducing valve on the in coming water is letting in more water than it should causing the pressure to rise, if it just happens when the boiler is calling for heat it's probably your expansion tank, it could be water lodged and needs to be drained and re pressurized or replaced. make sure the pressurizer relief valve is not dripping before your boiler reaches 30 psi, that's what they are usually set for on house boilers, if it is dripping before reaching 30psi it's a faulty pressure relief valve that needs to be replaced

What effect will blocked flue have on the boiler?

The combustion air will not be able to go out the chimney. Since it has to go somewhere it will leak out the boiler into the boilerroom. If the boiler is air tight the pressure inside the boiler furnace will become high enough that the air will surge or run backwards out the forced air fan. This could lead to combustion outside the boiler, explosion or at least filling the boiler room with smoke and poisonous gasses. The flue on our gas fired hot water system once became jammed shut. It was the smell of incomplete combustion that alerted me to a problem. If it had happened when everyone was asleep or no one was home, the house would have filled with carbon dioxide.
