My water heater has water that is pooling at the cold water inlet and, I thik, the access to the anode. The "insulation" is wet around these areas. The cold water line does not appear to be leaking. It is CPVC plastic. Does this mean the water heater needs to be replaced?

A water leak on a hot water heater could be condensaton if the ambient temperature is higher then the water inlet and depending on the relative humidity .

When in doubt call a licensed plumber
