A couple days ago we lost hot water so I looked and the pilot light went out. I lit the heater and it seemed fine. Today I went downstairs and the floor was wet. The water heater was dripping from the T&P valve so I shut the water off to the heater and opened a tap to relieve the pressure. I also opened the T&P to release a little water, into a bucket, and hopefully get it to seal better. It is sealing better but still has a very tiny slow leak. I've heard they can leak a little if the heater goes out. I'll check tomorrow but if it's still leaking, is it best to replace the T&P valve? Thanks. Dave
