VerifiedHi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. No wonder the pressure relief is dripping if the pressure is that high.
Can you bleed a radiator into a tub and take it back down to 1.5bar and then we need to monitor the pressure and see if it rises on its own.

Well found.
Ok, you will need to replace this before you need to fill it back up again.
Leave the pressure at 1.5bar and keep an eye on it, hopefully no long term damage to the PRV.
