It drips water directly on top of the burner plate which caused the unit to shut off twice over the years. The water stops dripping a minute or so after the fire goes off and does not drip anymore until the burner turns on after many hours. It happens in all heat settings, hot, warm, vacation. I put a metal can on top of the burner to collect the water. It collects about half a cup everytime the fire goes on. Have you seen this issue before? Any temporary fixes other than replacing it There is a small puddle underneath but a large towel handles it fine. Lately it drips every second or faster when heating. It creates a lot of steam. The system automatically shut itself off 2 times so far this summer. I live in rural Illinois and the underground hard water I get, even in summer, is ice cold. So condensation probably adds to the issue. I have a CO detector next to it and it hasn't beeped yet. It may be a seam or a pin hole that is underneath layers of sediments and debris. It used to make loud cracking noise when heating in early days. Now the noise stopped. How can I locate the small leak and stop it? Not sure about the temporary fix possibility. I agree with Gary, there's no fix for a broken seam on the water tank. Let's consider this, though while you save up for a new w/h. If it's strictly a pressure issue try lowering the temp setting to the lowest level that would allow you to at least function (cooler shower, cold water laundry, etc.), Turn on a hot water valve somewhere in the house when the water heater cycles on, and let it dribble to match the leakage from the w/h tank as best you can, and see if you can squeak by with this plan for a while. Haven't tried this, but you can try it for me and give us a report. If it's the direct heat from the burner causing the welded seam to expand and leak, forget it.
