The boiler has developed a serious leak. Can I just ignore it until September?

Water or fuel?
Fuel: Perhaps it'd be best to stop reading, leave the house, and get back to us from the library's computers.
Water: Lots of corrosion issues that might have permeated the entire system, not just the boiler. You might be looking at a complete replacement, which is probably going to take a while to price & install. Doesn't seem to be any advantage to waiting longer, especially if everyone else decides to defer their heating repairs until September.
As long as they're ripping out a heating system, are there any other home repairs/upgrades that would make sense to do at the same time while it's warmer?
Bummer. Hope the repairs go well.The pump is leaking. Don't know if I can do without until Autumn.
The whole frakkin house is deteriorating. Hope I can not perform major repairs until I can move elsewhere.
I'll call the plumber folks tomorrow.
