Just noticed as I walked by my water heater water running down the side. There is a valve (?) on top with a hose thread that has dripped. Is this the PRV? It appears to have stopped dripping now, should I worry and call a plumber or watch it a while. To my knowledge there has been no work done on water lines in the area (though two homes are being built on the street, so it is possible). I keep the water temp way low...one notch above lowest setting. Have had no problems with hot water in the house.
Any advice is greatly appreciated...I know very little about plumbing! Thanks!
btw: water heater is 5 years old..house built in '05.
