O-rings top and bottom. It's easy to check, just unbolt the upper waterneck and you can slide the pipe out. If the o-rings are old replace them.
Do NOT use sealant.

Yea its a o=ring. I changed mine out a while back. Found a box-o-o rings at lowes for water heater parts that fit perfect. It was like 2 bucks for the box.

Another thing to check would be the condition of the bypass pipe. Check both ends for excessive corrosion. Too much and even with new o-rings you won't get proper seal. Echoing one someone else advised: Don't use sealant as a replacement for the o-rings.
