Water leaking out of cold water infeed pipe into storage tank!

[sportyruss]

Hi, I have a hot water storage tank in my airing cupboard, and have recently noticed that water is running down the side of the tank. It seems to be coming from where the cold water goes in at the top of the tank. At first it was a small dribble, but when I came home from work the other day the towel I had put underneath the tank was soaking wet and dripping, so the problem seems to be getting worse. Is this an easy problem to solve? I only had the tank put in in January of this year, so should this be happening already? Any advice would be great thanks, Russ.

Get the people back who fitted it, the workmanship should be guaranteed for a year and the materials may be longer.

Just to be technically correct, the cold water goes into the bottom, its the hot that comes out the top.
