les,
i would go get one of the hot water heater sockets at home depot for 8 bucks. and i would buy the cheapest smallest hot water heater element that they have at home depot. they are about ten bucks.
and i would take out the element you think might be leaking, clean the area up and install the one from home depot and try the whole thing again.
that way you could eliminate the element for sure. i have to believe it is a standard element size. the element you buy to put in would be ONLY to test for leaks, not to leave in it so nothing but the size of it would matter.
my two cents worth
