    why don't you show us a picture of what is above that wet stain, show us the vent,

    then, show us the controls on the boiler, gage, sightglass, Pressure control, all in one shot or 2,

    then one or 2 more, floor to ceiling, from 2 different angles,

    what pressure do you see on the gage when the boiler is firing and making steam ?

    this is steam, correct?
