Why is my 40 gallon about tank linking from a little screw hole at the bottom of the tank?

Probibly because its about to fail in a very bad way... 
 
I assume you meant to say LEAKING and not linking... 
 
It needs replaced... and the sooner the better before it floods your basement.

How old is it?   Has anyone worked on it recently ?

Sounds like maybe someone ran a screw into a pinhole leak. Time for a new HW heater I believe.
