    Cold boiler leaking
    Hi,
    I just got home to find my house cold and knew the furnace had gone out. It is a forced hot water system. I restarted it without much problem and it was leaking as it does when it has gone out in the past. However, When I went back down 40 min later to check on it it was up to 150F but a slow leak was coming out of the bottom at the rate of about a drip every 11-13 sec. I must not have noticed the puddle when I first went down but is this normal until it heats up? I'm not sure if I should be concerned and call the service guy now or wait...
    Thanks for any information you can provide!
