hi my boilers flue is like a car running with it's head gasket blown lots and lots of steam that's for the first hour and then it clears up. last week it wouldn't light up and I had to strip it to find and fix the fault and looking at the heat exchanger I noticed some dried up leak stains, as I had to wait 3 days for the parts to come I noticed that the dried up leak stains had become wet and drops of water were visible are these cast iron heat exchangers prone to leaks? and how big a job is it to replace it? could it be just condensation? it's 10 years old and free standing
 
You may need to sit down when you find out the price of one of those heat exchangers I would guess maybe pushing 500 quid. I would think of putting boiler out to pasture.
