A friend had the same problem. He sanded the paint off the leaking area and found a barely visible crack. He ground a slight V in the crack and filled with JB Weld. Let it set overnight the sanded smooth and painted back over. Hadn't leaked since and he never even removed a plug wire, but that is a patch and may not be a permanent fix?
