I have a 50 gallon Rheem Guardian water heater installed about 4 years ago. Just walked into the basement and saw a substantial amount of water leaking from the top of the heater. I originally thought that it was coming through the threads of the anode rod but since then confirmed that it is coming through the top of the tank where the draft hood "leg" joins the top cover. So it seems to me as if the tank is cracked. The tank is still under warranty, but I don't know what Rheem will want me to do to verify this problem. Anyway can't contact them until Monday. Any suggestions as to what I can do in the interim. Would appreciate any help on this problem. It's hard being without hot water!!!
Thank you,
Thank you,
