I have a small (one drop every 30 seconds), of cold water coming from some where around the rear of my water heater. I had a new check valve installed and the leak quit for about two months of continuous use. Then it started again at about the same rate. Very difficult for an aged soul to see behind the water heater. Any one had this problem before? Could you fix it with out pulling the w/h? I am going to take it to a dealer, but am curious as to what might be the problem. Would be interested in all suggestions. I have shut off the by-pass valve and this stops the leak, even though the tank is full.
