If it turns into a major break you will have a very large amount of water to deal with. I would get it replaced ASAP. Keep in mind that the leak could be from a corroded tank.

But now you need someone to install it for you. Is it electric or gas? Electric is easier but the gas job just takes a little longer. About 2 hours. nobody fixes a hot water tank today,,its cheaper to buy a new one.

I would say a regular water heater runs from $300 and up. I don't know if you are able to install it yourself, but installing will cost you an additional $100.

In time they will crack, causing a leak. Sorry to tell you but it will need to be replaced. If you are a serious do-it -yourselfer with plumbing skills, you can replace it yourself. Can you measure, cut, and solder copper pipe? If not you should call in a pro. Be prepared to spend $250 to $300 for the tank plus a little more for any extra materials needed. A plumber may charge $100 -$200 for the installation. Water heaters have a glass liner for insulation, just like a thermos bottle. In time they will crack, causing a leak.
