This hot water heater is about 9 years old and so is the plumbing above it. The water appears to be coming from in between the big copper/brass screw and the end of the black thing (what's the black thing callled?):
It seems like a seal or a washer inside the black thing has malfunctioned and is letting the water seep out.
The water dripping is pretty warm and the drip is very consistent. The water meter in front of the house isn't moving at all, so I am not sure where the pipe or water is coming from - the pipe comes out of the wall, down to this black thing, then down and out of the black thing and back into the wall.
I guess my question is: Is this something I can fix myself and where do would I find the valve to turn this water off.
