Something to do with the cold and snow perhaps ???  Cold causing the windscreen/scuttle seals to shrink and the snow/ rain getting through the gaps ??

Just a thought ???

I must update the cam cover maintenanc guide.....adding a run of the sealent along 2 bits of the plastic camcover should help this a lot

Yep, that's what Geoff & Pete told me they started to do at the factory after discovering the problem.

I am sure it is but.....there is a trick you can do when changing the cam covers to stop the water getting into the plug wells.  :y
