      Got a 9 year old Irving oil water heater. As far as we can tell, she’s leaking from the bottom. What could the problem be, and how could we fix it?
      Thanks

      First check your water pressure in home.

      If it is over 80, more than likely that is why tank blew in most cases; lack of PRV.

      Blown tanks can only be replaced, not repaired.

      Your pressure situation is very important in this matter..post back and go from there.
