If you have an expansion tank in the water line near the hot water tank there may be a small plastic cover over a valve that looks like it is an air valve from a tire/tube. If you depress it and water comes out it means the tank inner membrane is compromised. Replace the tank. Home Depot has them. They're about 3 or 4 gal and adequate for a typical home situation. The pressure relief valve leaks because when you use the hot water it comes out of the hot water tank and is replaced with cold make-up water from your water supply. As it heats up it expands. Since the expansion tank is full due to the leaking membrane in the expansion tank, the expanded water goes out the expansion valve til the pressure is equalized. I put a small catch pan under it til I could replace the exp. tank. Be careful when you remove it(mine was simply screwed into a fitting in the water line) the tank as it will be heavy and awkward. Goog luck.

Why is my toilet cycling on and off, with the tank refilling every few minutes?
Your toilet may be cycling on and off with the tank refilling frequently due to a faulty flapper valve or a leak in the fill valve. This can cause water to continuously leak from the tank into the bowl, triggering the fill valve to refill the tank. It is recommended to check and replace these parts to resolve the issue and prevent water wastage.
Why does my toilet run intermittently?

Why does the toilet leak from the tank when flushed?
The toilet leaks from the tank when flushed because there may be a problem with the flapper valve or the flush valve, causing water to escape from the tank instead of flowing into the bowl. This can lead to water leakage and inefficiency in the flushing process.
What causes a toilet to keep running?

Water backing up into brine tank?
There are two main causes of water backing up into a water softener brine tank. The injector assembly may be defective and not draw all of the brine out of the tank and then the timed brine refill will put back a predetermined amount of water, causing the level of brine to increase in the tank after each regeneration. The other cause may be a defective brine valve which has a slow leak after it closes and causes the tank to overfill.
Why does the water level in the toilet tank drop slowly?
The water level in the toilet tank drops slowly because there may be a leak in the tank or the flapper valve is not sealing properly, allowing water to slowly escape.
Why does the water level in the toilet bowl decrease?
The water level in a toilet bowl decreases when there is a blockage in the plumbing system, a faulty flapper valve, or a leak in the toilet tank. This causes water to slowly drain out of the bowl, resulting in a lower water level.
Why is my toilet tank running constantly?
Your toilet tank may be running constantly due to a faulty flapper valve, a problem with the fill valve, or a leak in the tank. These issues can cause water to continuously flow into the tank, leading to the constant running.
How can I fix the issue of water coming out the top of my water heater?
