Hey guys, If you go back to the old Yahoo site , in the photo section there is a series of pics showing exactly how this leak occurs. The factory used a flexiable sealer that over time becomes hard and drops out. It isn't that hard to repair once the guards are off. Removing a dash in a 1200 isn't that brain taxing either, it just takes time. Better to do it now than wait until it's spotted when it's in for it's roadworthy check..
