So here’s where my leak is happening.

It seems like water is oozing from the location where my red screwdriver is. And it doesn’t take that long from the time rain starts to the time I start seeing water ooze in. I get a nice puddle within 5-6 minutes.

Also, it doesn’t seem to be rain+wind. Even without wind, it seems like water is oozing in. In fact, this morning when it stopped raining, it was still coming in.

I’m thinking maybe a bad seal window seal or crack somewhere.

Here’s some outside pix.

I think I will check the seal around the light too to make sure, though it’s far enough away that i doubt it would be that. There’s also the side vent on top, but again, I don’t think it would be likely to be leaking there….

Thoughts?
