If water is leaking from a pipe. then replace or repair the pipe or fitting. If the leak is coming from the unit itself, then replace the unit. Hope this helps.

not sure what you are asking the cost on, if its the RHEEM 40 Gallon FVR NATGAS , then they run 250 to 350 depending on where you are and where you shop. of course that is just the water heater and not installation.
hard to answer a question that only says " Cost? "

I have a 21v40-7 rheemglas waterheater that is leaking from the line where the blue cap and the white water heater meets why is this happening?

If you see water at the top of the water heater you should take a rag and dry everything well, you should be able to see where the leak is from, if it leaks from the metal "housing" up you probably need a new water heater
