Condensate dripping from exhaust vent connection

I have a Burnham Alpine boiler, installed maybe 6 years ago, and noticed condensate dripping from the connection between the CPVC exhaust vent pipe and the stainless connector at the back of the boiler. Is there an internal gasket to the connector piece? The CPVC appears to be fully seated; I loosened the band clamp but couldn't push the pipe in any further.

    A picture would certainly help.

    I am not familiar with that particular model.
    A fitting like that would normally have a gasket where you see the metal bulge. The CPVC would be beveled so it slides through with out damaging the gasket.
    Take it apart and have a look but I would guess that it is butted up against the gasket, not inserted.
