The Water Heater Hose is leaking. GE should have made a better hose that would not leak after 2-4 years. The Water Heater Hose is made of plastic & rubber. It is some kind of latex that could stand the heaters temperature. The hose is probably damage near the water heater. I hope you could buy that hose in GE. The manual says you could buy that item if you call their toll free number 800.626.2002.
