If the pressure relief valve is piped to a drain, open it up. Empty expansion tank of all water, close drain and add water and pressurize. When heated the water will expand. If you have a glass on the tank you will see that it is fine. If you lose pressure, you have a leak, possibly the water is going up the chimmney. Pressurize and do not fire, watch floor and open boiler if possible to look for water. Check crawl spaces.
