mick1 Mick your vernacular suggests that you are a Yank or a part of a corporate body.
Check the D.O.M if it is less than 5 years old then if you are Australian you have a warranty claim.
If older than 5 years then flick the “grommet” out & check to see if the large nut is leaking or the tank.
I would suggest that you check that this leakage is not affecting the electric’s, if there is wettness in the area of the electric’s then shut off the power & tag the switch off.
If the tank is leaking it will need a new tank.
If the nut is leaking then you will need an 1.1/8 ring spanner to remove the nut, remove it & check that the anode is in good 100% coverage, if not get a new one & then replace it.
