Hey all, my Sta Rite Max E Therm 333 has a leak. Assume maybe manifold, gasket, etc associated to the area shown in the picture where the bolts are rusting. Is this a common enough problem and/or easy to diagnose on my own? Fairly handy, but I figured I'd ask before opening stuff up and potentially making the problem worse somehow. Thanks as always!

By the way, I did find the (questionably safe) video of the full teardown of my model. He didn't show the manifold issue he was having or why he replaced it. Just wondering how to diagnose, and maybe that's taking it apart. Still...here for some advice from the pros!

You probably have a leaking heat exchanger. You have to open it up and see what is leaking.
Those are great videos, thank you. Will bust into it tomorrow and see what I find.
