Hi all,
I've come across a leaking water heater and don't exactly know what to call the area it is leaking from. The leak is at the bottom near the air intake screen/filter. It looks like there is a metal bracket holding this assembly in place, and there is an opening in the bottom where this bracket is. The leak is coming from this opening. Does this opening or bracket have a name? It this likely a failed tank?
