Hi all,

I have a very small hole in the body (I can't even see the hole, only the water trickling through). I am thinking about using POR-15 to seal it up. Has anyone used POR-15 for this? If so, which product did you use? I am thinking the "POR-15 silver", since it supposedly has metal filler in it. (I already have a can of por-15 black, but I want the best product available to fix this hole that is the source of a water leak).

Right now the hole is covered with silicone. I did that only out of desperation earlier today, since it is raining lots in Oregon now, and I needed something to minimize the h20 coming in. ONce I got inside, I started to think "there's got to be something better than silicone for this", and came to the idea of using POR-15.

It looks like the prior owner used body putty or something on it, the whole area around it is covered with white pasty stuff. (I've never used body putty, so I don't know if that is truly what it is). I'm debating whether to peel off all the white stuff to see what the hell is going on in there, though I'm almost to the point where I don't want to know how bad it could be up there....

The hole is located on the firewall, close to where it corners with the side panel on the passenger side.

thanks for continued wisdom and encouraging words,

susan.
