A leaking water heater can manifest in several visual ways depending on the source. It may appear as a small puddle or damp ring pooling on the floor directly beneath the tank base, slow weeping droplets forming around top plumbing nipples, mineral crust and white calcium scaling encrusting pipe fittings, or rusty water streaks running down the exterior metal jacket. Verification: Wipe suspected damp areas completely dry with paper towels to observe whether moisture re-accumulates.
