I painted my cast iron tub a few months ago with oil-based exterior
white enamel paint. It looked great at first, but now it's starting to
turn more of a cream color.

maybe that's rust leaching through
oil takes a very long time to dry

did you prime the steel first? the primer comes in a spray can.
it converts rust to a permanent paintable surface

I did the same thing. I painted steel with oil paint. i did use the
primer..
so far no leaching... the stuff works great
