Sounds like it's time to clean the probe on the low water cut off. That's the part that's inserted into the boiler. Inspect for any cracks.

Yes it could take time for all the droplets of water to return.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Today i noticed my steam boiler has more water than last time. about 1/2 inch more on sight glass. its been warm here lately so the boiler hasnt really kicked on much. is is possibe it can take a while for the water to return since it hasnt really been on much. its pretty much on the level when i last gave it water. how long can water returning to boiler should take?

    Get a pro to look it over. could be clogger site glasscocks. If it is float type LWCO it will kick on if you flush it out. the piping to that could be particially clogged.
    Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.
