Water heater leaking from side or bottom?
I am getting water leaking around my 6 gal water heater. It’s not coming from the hot or cold water lines and not from the outside drain area. But there’s water on the floor by the side of the heater ...

There are 5 or 6 threaded fittings on a trailer water heater to check for leaks. If those are not leaking then the tank is leaking somewhere.
1 cold water connection.
2 hot water connection.
3 drain plug.
4 relief valve connection.
5 where the gas control temperature probe screws in.
6 electric heating element connection.
I had water leak through the gas control block on a Suburban water heater and could see it dripping. If it were leaking behind the block running down the water heater I would have never noticed it until I found water inside the trailer.
