My water leaking out of the bottom is due to a leak around the threads of the water supply line, directly above the HWH, Water is dripping down the pipe, into the top of the heater case, saturating the insulation, running out the bottom. Maybe it's not the tank at all!!!! Mine wasn't.
Nah, there wasn't any water leaking visibly from the top. All is well now Cliff. New water heater for free with $100 installation from a kid off craigslist.
