will find out Sat. I'll attempt to remove inlet fitting to tank to see if tank threads have corroded.
Mix up some JB Weld and put a heavy layer of JB Weld on the threads on the water heater and pipe nipple. Put it back together and see what happens after the JB Weld cures. You got nothing to lose and it will cost you less than $10. You may need a new pipe nipple if it has heavy corrosion.

UPDATE
so I replaced the inlet nipple and associated inlet piping, connected a flexible pipe to it and........still water seeping up from around and under where the nipple screws in.
I'm getting quotes on installing a small tankless if I can get one that will work well enough with the existing wiring.
