We had a couple of inches of rain on Nov. 8 & 9, before she traveled on the 12th. Less than 0.1" in Baton Rouge when she arrived there on the 12th. For the year, though, we've had over 70", which is high even for Mobile. Maybe there is an accumulation of seepage. The car is normally garage sheltered, but she takes it for washes now & then, although not for several days before the problems started.

I plan to dive into it tonight and access the plugs, maybe see signs of water or oil where they shouldn't be. Good chance to look for problem and install the new plugs all at once. Would have done it this past weekend but having to work on a house I'm trying to sell (recently moved & changed jobs -- have a big juggling act on my hands).
