If there's no leak below, air is getting into the line somewhere which means a seal has failed or something has a perforation. Those little heaters don't last forever. If you're not confident in locating and repairing it (which may or may not be easily serviceable), you should replace the unit. Scalding a family member loses you major points. R |

I'd check the water temp too, as if it's overheating, it could be
generating steam. |
