Hot water heater valve leaking

Hi all, we have a 2014 Kodiak 240BHSL. We've been running it hard for 2 years now and last week I noticed the pressure relief valve (I think that's what it is) is dripping. It's the pipe sticking out with the little lever. If you flip the lever the it releases the water.
Anyway, can I do anything to stop the drip besides ordering a new part?

Try flipping the lever up and rotating it around a bit, that will reseat the valve. Might work might not. If not replace it.

Don't need to order one, they are available almost anywhere. There are two sizes from which to chose, 1/2 and 3/4 inch threads.
