Discuss Is it time for a new water heater? in the Plumbing Forum | Plumbing Advice area at PlumbersForums.net
They posted this twice said that was a possible on other post.Looks like the sacrificial anode has rusted away and leaking through the threads.
Not worth messing around with, unless you can source another anode.
I probably wouldn't bother because if the anode has rusted that much, the cylinder would be in the same state.
Replace unit
