Just realised the steam line, wich come from under the boiler, is not soldered propperly on.
Seems the loco (the steam line) got too much heat 
It sits almost directly aboive the flame, so mabe this is the cause
Have to think about how i can fix that, hopefully without taking everything apart

There is no shield needed, if there is water in the boiler
Someone let the boiler ran dry i think...so the solder melted a bit on the tube.
After a look at the rest of the boiler i can tell the boiler is in good condition without any other damage.
