[C320-list] Engine Pod Weep Hole Vents.

[John Van Vessem]

CRA,
   
  I also have moisture in my instruments in the winter (San Francisco), it's clearly a condensation problem (temperature differential and moister content in the air.  I'm not worried about it because I believe the manufacturer designed the instruments to breath rather then having them sealed.  In any event it doesn't show up in the summer.

  I have the same issue with moisture sometimes getting into the engine pod 
and causing the instruments to fog up. I'd like to know where the moisture 
comes from as this occurs even when it hasn't rained (it hardly ever does in 
So Cal) and the wheel stand is always covered with the canvas when not in 
use. I'll be interested in the answer to your question.
