	Hi, Mine was doing the same thing. I found my leak within the hood storage compartment. The hood frame is mounted on 4 'studs' (2 either side) that are part of the body. My leak was where the one of the studs was coming out of the body. I basically loosened the nuts holding down the frame and put some silicone sealant around the base (beneath the hood frame) and tightened back down. No leaks since. I used a length of plastic tubing to get the silicone where I wanted as the gun nozzle wasn't going to get close.
