Rendered before/after
This is coming from the pan under the water heater. Either the tank is leaking out of a $1100 AO Smith "commercial grade" gas water heater or a pressure valve. I doubt I will be lucky for it to just be a valve.
You can replace the pressure relief valve on a gas water heater for something like 20 bucks. Sounds like you might need to replace the whole water heater.

My relief valve started to get a slow drip a couple of years ago and it was easy to replace myself. Those things fail often so all you have to do is unscrew the old one and screw in a new one.
