Welcome to the forum.

Our 2015 JayFlight water heater is OK. Have you verified that it is your tank and not the drain plug or the relief valve?

On my old camper, we had a leak that I was sure was the tank. Turns out it was the inlet on the water feed. I wrapped a paper towel around all inlets and outlets and sure enough, one got damp.

So you might just want to verify. If it's a cracked tank, you probably have to replace the entire thing.

In my case, I just replaced some pipe and fittings going in.

The fittings on the hot and cold lines on the tank are prone to loosen up from movement.

Hopefully that's all it will be.
