The substance is the hot water, often brown or rusty in colour.
Find out where it's leaking and fix it. If it's leaking from a joint, tighten it. If it's leaking from the vent, tighten it. If it's leaking through the wall of the radiator, replace the radiator.
If you take a pic we can give more accurate advice.
BTW, if it didn't leak before the new boiler, chances are a new pump has increased pressure. If it's an adjustable pump, try turning it down.
