Question about Amtrol ST-12-C THERM-X-TROL ASME Expansion Tank, 5 Gallon

Therm-x-trol st-12 leaking

I've noticed this problem in the last few days. It is about 15 years old, house was built in 1993 and I doubt it has been replaced. It is very close, less than a fingers width from an old copper pipe. However, the pipe seems dry and dusty on the outside. How can I tell if it is the therm-x-trol st-12 leaking from the side, again the top seems dry and dusty as well or the pipe? Thanks for your future help.

Water pressure decreases as the water runs
Probably a clog in galvanized pipe.
Expansion tank is not whole-house pressure regulating tank. It is localized protection for plumbing exposed to high pressure caused by very hot water.
If you house has pressure regulating valve, then that can be a cause.
For low water pressure in household, the following link might help:

The relief valve coming out of my hw heater occasionally has a steady drip of hot water after the heater has been running. Drips accumulate in a bucket maybe a gallon/ week. Gas company rep (here for a...
The exspansion tank is more than likly the problem. The temperature/presure valve may also be the problem. Replace both. To replace the exspansion tank turn off the supply water coming into the water heater. Open the relief valve and purge the presure off the tank. drain the water heater slightly below the temperarture/presure valve to replace. The exspansion tanks screws off. Use new teflon taope on the threads when replacing both the exspansion tank and the T&P valve. This work can be compleated by the homwowner with some mecanical inclination.

When checking the tanks air pressure water squirts out of the valve. Does this mean the tank is bad? I assume there is some type of bladder inside thats leaking.
you are exactly right - if you have water at the air valve you need a new tank.
