    Open up the boiler drain and see if you can remove water till it's at the right level. If water is coming out and the sight glass does not start to drop it could well be a clog in a sight glass cock.

    If you have an auto water fill on the boiler it may be leaking by or maybe the LWCO has failed and it's telling it to fill when it shouldn't.

    Pictures will help.
