lectricity and rusty wadder don't play well together.
I suggest you drain the wadder in the electrical box and add antifreeze so it don't turn rusty again.
Now be careful that you use green antifreeze, non of that pinko stuff
like death ah kool.

Don't worry if an occasional drip of wadder occurs from the bulb when you switch the
bat-room light on, it is jus condensation from a previous hot bath.
FWIW:
Do turn the kurrant at the main fuzz box off, before adding green coolant.

Sometimes those modi kules in da koolant get confused with all of those pluses and minuses arguing like congress in a debt limit debate
.
Now once the lecric' cover is securely replaced, it is ok to turn the power back on as the hydrogen gas produced will calm those gubbermint fellers down quickly.

Oh as a side note, me thinks yall got leaky/defective new wadder tank.
Assuming it is an electric heater it's possible one of the heating elements missed being properly tightened at the factory, allowing leakage.
or one of your water line connections is leaking.
is the tank insulation wet?
Do keep a close watch on it that is not safe as you know, and do turn the breaker OFF before even getting close to it, you are talking 220 volts, it can be fatal, not just a shock!!!
