Puzzled by water heater

6 years ago

We have a new water heater in the basement. There seems to be a small puddle of an oily substance that appears on the floor right beside it. It's not really causing a problem since it's in an area where it is not seen. I'm curious what this could be? It has a slight petroleum odor. Thank you for any insight.
