I have heard that there is cast iron in older boilers that may leak when

I have not had it on because I have been practically out of oil since April
(Live in NH) and oil company wants a min of 150 gallons ($600). *I couldn't
shell out the cash just to have it sit in the tank all summer so I am not

RMB has the answer. The sections of a cast iron boiler have O-Rings
that expand when hot/warm and contract when cool. This is why your
leaking. Just for a test, start the boiler up for a few days and see
if the leaking stops.
