Gas water heater, water leaking everywhere!
My gas water heater is leaking serious amounts of water from what I think is the TP valve and also from the pipes that are on top of the heater. I shut the gas off and also the water to the tank. I'm draining the tank now. When I first noticed it, there was steam coming from the top of the tank.The cold water pipe is extremely cold to the touch and has condensation running the full length of the pipe. Just to give you an idea of the amount of water... the floor surrounding the tank and probably 3 feet in either directiion was saturated. Please forgive my ignorance, I don't know anything about hot water tanks and wish I could explain it more clearly.
