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.
