    I have water flowing out of the top of my hot water heater. 50 gallon tank, gas, Reem
    Water is flowing from the top of the water heater itself. Seems to be coming from around the gas burner heat stack in the middle of the unit. I ran down the water heater and put my pilot light out. I have turned the water and gas off to the unit. 2003 unit.
