Hi all, thanks for your feedback and thoughts. I will do some checkings as suggested. When the 'water source' is found and problem is cured, I’ll let you guys know!

Rob,
The most likely source for water in that location under those circumstances
is from water running through the deck and down the struts supporting the
forward shroud chainplate.
Sealing the chainplates may solve your problem. There are a few discussions
on how to do this on the Association website.
