This is a 10 year old Lennox cast iron boiler. These outside sections have excessive rust for a relatively new boiler in my opinion. How serious is this? How would you write this up?

Need more photos Mike..

First photo looks like exhaust-gas leakage (a vertical 'plume..') Did you put a mirror near those areas to see if exhaust-gas was condensing on your mirror?

I.E., could be 'draft-related'...

Looks like the boiler castings sweat when it is shut down for the summer. They also may leak just a tad due to contraction. Common when a separate water heater is used. The owners can keep it on very low to prevent any leakage and keep the castings tight.
