Thanks Frank, yep I found the 3rd one. As you said, it's on the opposite end of the heat exchanger, and on the bottom of it so not real obvious.
All of mine definitely needed to be replaced, and I'm going to set a reminder to check them every 6 months to make sure they are good. I'm planning on removing them and taking the zinc out of the cap to prevent them from welding themselves into the cap. Of the 13 zincs I replaced, 7 of them had done that so I had to soak them in the muriatic acid to remove the zinc from the cap. That worked pretty well by the way, so I now have a full set of spares that I can use when I replace the zincs.
