Burham Gas Boiler Leaking

I have a Burham Gas Boiler.

The name plate says it is a model SP3 SP4 SP5 SP6.

It appears to be leaking although I cannot tell from exactly where. The floor is wet beneath it and to the front right side of it as you face it.

Oddly, the water from it leaking only appears during and shortly after it runs.

When it is off there does not appear to be any leaking?

Does anyone know what the cause might be?

I am on a fixed income and it would be a terribly burden to have to pay for an new boiler.

Thank you.

    Have a professional come and look at it as it may only be a fitting leaking and not the entire boiler.

    It may be a bad extrol/ diaphragm tank....when it runs the pressure builds and pops the relief valve.

    Check for flue gas condensation. Maybe it's operating at too low temp.
