    That is a big Leek!
    I am thinking you need to toss it in that mop bucket with some potatoes,spinach and garlic for a few hours.

    Jokes aside, if you know that the leak is not from the drain valve, then it looks like the tank has rusted through, and the water heater is due for replacement. How old is it? I see a display panel on it which makes it seem newish.--NBC

    And yes, leeks with a mustardy cheese sauce, wrapped around with slices of ham is a favorite of mine. In fact, I think leeks to be underestimated as a veg, and maybe a group could be formed to try and make everyone see how wonderful they can be!--NBC

    All jokes aside what kind of water heater is that!?
    It looks like it has an exposed burner consisting of several burner tubes?

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    I prefer Leek and Potato soup. It just takes so long to make from scratch.

    Yes. it looks like you need water heater replacement. Would like to know the age and make of the water heater. Because it seems like it failed prematurely.
