This will more then likely be what's called a expansion vessel which has gone flat within the boiler, this will need recharging with air as when you are using your central heating it is over pressurising the system and safely discharging at the base of the wall via a copper pipe which should be angled back to the wall, this will explain the pressure loss within an hour for your boiler
