    There should be a pipe that comes from the side or top of tank from a brass valve. This is a T&P valve.

    Put a small bucket under this pipe and see if it fills up.

    If it does, you will need to either replace the valve, install a PRV, or an expansion tank.

    If the tank is leaking, you have to buy a new water heater. Tanks cannot be fixed.
