I have a small leak coming from the shut-off valve of my hot water heater. What is going on

What type of valve do you have ? Can you post a photo ?

If the leak's from around the stem simply snug uo the top most nut,( the bonnet packing nut) until the leak stops. Do not overtighten. Good luck, Tom
