Plumbing pressure relief
I'm running on internal water (not city water). I don't leave the water heater turned on all the time (too wasteful to do so) and when I turn it on it raises the pressure in the whole plumbing system ...

Drain the heater than let it refill. If it's raising the pressure that much you no longer have an air cushion.
Step 2: Put an accumulator in the line, adds additional "Air cushion" (only it's not air)
Item 3: there is a valve at the top (outisde) of the heater Usually has a lever on it to manually open. The name of that is often shortened TPR. What does TPR mean.

If it's going to leak, it should be leaking there.
