Do not assume that a water leak has only one source. A single water leak may have as many as three sources.
^
Seal each leak source as soon as it is located and respray the same zone. This checks the repair and will reveal any further leak sources in that
zone.
^
Do not apply the water stream directly against window seams or fresh air vents. This may create temporary and false leaks that can hinder
accurate diagnosis.
