Did that cause any mold issues?

Nah, it ran into a gravel subbase, and there was really nothing to mold.  It's very dry in the crawl space.  Very dry.

ChadTower:

Cool.  My house has no crawlspaces.  The one I grew up in in NS did... but that one only had plumbing to two spots in the first floor. 

NightGod:
Thanks for reminding me to test my T&P valve, almost forgot this year!

Zakk:
If the valve was not faulty, the pressure release valve will purge water if the temperature is set too high.  I found this out on a brand new water tank I had installed last year. I set the dial to HOT, since that's what the old one was set to.  Turns out the newer versions only need to be set right around the mid point. Had water coming out of that tube you mentioned.  Just a thought, if anyone was messing around with the temp on it lately.

ChadTower:

Took me 15 minutes to find the thermostat on mine... it was inside a closed box on the back side of it.
