Aside from the leak which I hope will be resolved when I finish reconnecting the rod tomorrow, my problem seems to be the hole beneath the anode and flange. When I flushed the tank I had to position a bucket inside as a good 30% of the waterfall goes inside the trailer. Wonder if I should seal the opening with jbweld epoxy and keep using the water heater , assuming no other leaks found .
I found the washer just laying just behind the water heater door.
The white material was actually crystalline build but I managed to clean most of it and expose threads. Thanks for petroleum tips
