Water leak on one of the pipes coming out of the hot water heater

I just wanted to make sure we were aware that we have a slow/small leak in one of the joints coming out of the hot water heater. I noticed it was a little damp yesterday but when the water was being used today it was dripping quite a bit. It was coming out of the pipe that looks a little bent at the 2nd or 3rd joint. I don't know enough about this to fix it. If someone that's good with plumbing maybe check it out. It doesn't seem like a hard fix if you know hot to shut the water off at the water heater... which I don't.
