I believe the temp was up to high (between 125 and 150). The household was 5 now down to two. 50 gallon water heater (standup). Pop off valve vented, and stopped. Changed it out, now there is a seal around the cold water inlet that appears to be a slow leak? I haven’t ever seen this issue before, the tank was full of water, what can be causing this please? I do know top of tank had water so I’m sure it had to drain off, but I am at a loss here. See pic attached.
