It looks to me like your tank has a leak. Mine looked just like that when Newell replaced my tank.
My symptoms were that the coolant level inside the tank would leak down. If the tank is not full of water then the wraps of copper pipe would not be heated and thus the heating capacity was diminished.
I would figure out a way to put some pressure (not more than 16lbs) on the tank and see if it leaks. Your pictures make me think that it will.
If I am right check with Rudy about getting a new tank $$$$$.
