Just be certain you have eliminated any possible sources of the leak outside the boiler itself. There are a number of fittings outside the boiler that can leak & due to the design of the big silver box, it will come out through the hole for the exhaust or the drain.
The major cause of a leak inside the boiler is freezing of water in the fresh water loop. It is a fact that if the leak is the fresh water loop then a replacement unit of some type is the fix.
