The relief valve is not bad to replace. 10 min job. Picked one up at Ace hardware $15 no more weeping. There is a special tool to remove it available. Its like a strange shaped socket. Maybe can cut up a large deep socket and slide on it to turn it loose. I borrowed one from a friend. You have to remove the metal shroud to get it out.

The seat in the valve gets calcium build up and unseats when the pressure is dropped. Maybe can be cleaned and put back in. I just went with a new one.

Can't believe I let it leak so long off and on.
