Well Chris you were right. I took off the cowl and it was quite obvious that was my problem. The problem with this design is the cover is attached with caulking. Over time is looses it stickness. I used Black Silicon to re-seal the cover that attaches to the side of the windshield. The other end attaches to the firewall and simply clips back into place. That was not the problem, the issue was the caulking. After an hour, I poured water down on the windshield to see if I had any leaks. NONE SO FAR. The floor was still dry. I also took the blower off and cleaned and lubed it a little. Now the blower is very quiet. I also noticed that I was getting a lot of leaves in the blower so I reattached the screen to the cowl as well. This also fell off because of old caulking. So you were right and I thank you for taking the time to explain in detail. Your detail should be posted in the 700/900 FAQ. By the way, did you have a problem reattaching the cowl back into place. It took a few tries. My problem was the clips that are under the windshield. I broke one of the clip when I first removed the cowl. The rubber windshield gasket seem to be tight, so I'm not to concerned. I think I will know if the leak is totally fix after a few rain and snow storm before I feel 100% satisfied that the leak is fixed. I least I know how the fix it if it happens again. I will keep an eye on it.

P.S. Thank goodness I noticed this leak before it did any real damage. I ripped out the rug, foam, and sound foam to dry out. No rust so it must of just started leaking a week or two ago.

Thanks again and keep in touch.

Regards, Chris
