My house is a 2007 designer cypress The tank is on a wooden box at the back of the garage in plain sight.

State Select gas water heater with a expansion tank on the top

Possibly leak from a rusting tray?

Any advise about repairing this?

Approach the gas utility?
It could also be the condensation drain from your air handler is plugged.
