How can i fix my hot water cylinder?

i have turned down the temperture on the cylinder to its lowest temp!
i have turned the tap down under the house to half way!
But hot water is still leaking out of over flow spout!

Zip electric water heater - capacity 180 ltrs
Manufractured - 1983

Any ideas will be greatfull
