they are in the upper left side(passenger side) by windshield (engine compartment), it's a black plastic box, cover is held by about 5 or so 5mm hex screws it's supposed to be weathertight, but you never know

Yeah, weathertight. LOL.

It sits right under the hood vent on the passenger side just like Eurosport had said. In fact you can see the box through the hood vent with the hood closed.

The funny thing is it's probably the most important and expensive collection of parts on the vehicle. The box can't be made water tight for two reasons. One, the DME has a barometric sensor built on to the board. Two, there is a cooling fan the blows cabin air into the box when a temp sensor (also on the DME board) turns in on. Great design for a box just a bad place to put it.

The best you can do is open the box. Pull the rubber grommets out of their slots. Put a bead of RTV in the slot and put the grommets back in. Then with the lid off run a small bead of RTV in the groove in the lid. Not a lot is needed. Just enough so that when the lid is replaced it makes a good seal.
