I believe the old cast iron radiators are a very good efficient type of heat. Especially in that they will radiate heat a long time after the furnace has stopped running.I believe they stopped making them due to less demand because of their weight and the ease of newer baseboard installation. You can check with salvage yards as has been suggested and keep an eye on local add papers for used ones for sale. Find an old house being changed over and buy the old radiators and store a few away, just a thought.
Can you shut that zone off and run the rest of the system or is everything on one zone? How about a temporary baseboard heater in the gap to get you through- not good to use both types on the same zone for long term but might work ok as a stop gap measure.
The radiators being old can eventually be a problem but the leaks are probably due to the chemicals in the water supply. You could look at going to baseboard on the entire zone, although I prefer the old radiators too. Good luck
