The flood alarm went off this afternoon..
The tank top cover was wet. About 12oz in the catch pan set off the alarm..

I turned on the tank bypass (and the oil burner) and now I'm drying up the top,
and plan to turn it back on later to see if I can spot the leak..

The over-pressure valve port stayed dry, so It's either the hot, cold or anode.

I attempted to drain some water, but the drain valve isn't working very well.
It might be plugged up with sediment/dregs. When I turn the pressure back on, the drain will likely work a lot better..

I'm 73 years old now.. That might be too old to be dragging that tank up out of the basement, for the junkman..
