water leak around fuse panel
In addition to my other post on a different water leak, I am having a water leak from the fuse panel on the drivers side. It's not dripping or running from above the panel, but it is dripping from the fuse panel.
Any ideas on how to go about sealing up the fuse panel?

make sure the torx bolts on the inside are tightened down. and the one in the engine bay that keeps them connected. if it still persists, get a thin piece of rubber or use RTV and make your own gasket to keep it water tight.

Well I opened up the hood and finger rubbed some black RTV sealant all around the fuse block where it passes through the firewall. I also smeared some on top of the fuse block. After a day to cure and a test with a garden hose (hood closed of course) it seems the leak is gone.
