Most likely just the pressure relief valve, which is an inexpensive fix. 
Give Vic Willman at Raritan a call: 800-352-5630 x 6. 'Twould prob'ly be 
helpful if you can tell him the exact location of the leak. The exploded 
drawing the manual should help you pinpoint it. If you don't have a 
manual, you can download and print one from here:
