Steam Boiler leaking water onto burners
My boiler has started leaking water onto the burners. It doesn't happen when boiler is cold and isnt a continuous leak. it appears to happen when the boiler pressure and heat builds up, like a back flow. Its not enough to distinguish the flames or pilot but is enough to cause a lot of hissing and occasionally extinguish the pilot light.
Will a liquid sealer fix this type of problem temporarily?

Depends where the leak is. If the water leak is below the water level it may. Above the water level no.
Keep in mind if you add stop leak it will raise the fuel bill as it coats everything and will slow down thermal transfer.
