The casing behind the flue may be corroded but the tank itself is made from stainless steel so there should be no corrosion on the tank cylinder. If it's leaking it's usually down to two reasons, either the tank is split (which is very unlikely) or the big 'O' ring that seals in the trumpet part of the front of the tank has perished or shifted and needs resealing. The best action to take is to remove the tank first and do a full inspection. Do a search on Ebay for 'Henry Carver Cascade 2 GE Rapide Water Heater Tank O Ring Seal & Fitting Kit' as you can buy the spares to reseal the hot water tank if necessary.

If you do a Google search for 'Carver Cascade 2 exploded view' there are diagrams showing all the individual parts which you can see the large 'O' ring that seals the top of the hot water tank. I have tried to provide a link without success but at least you can have a look yourself. Also, have a look on 'YouTube' as there are several videos available which may help.
