I have a steam boiler and 5 days ago I woke up to find a smell of something burning in the basement. I went and found the water level gauge of my boiler to be empty. I filled the boiler manually until the gauge was 1/2 to 3/4 full, but when I came back from work that day, I had the same problem: the water gauge was really low (not empty). It's been going on for the last 5 days and I am adding water like crazy very morning and every afternon after work. I have not found any leaks anywhere and my radiators are all working. What is going on?? Help
