Leaking when it rains? Where in the hell is this water coming from?
The first thing I did when I bought my Barracuda was to clean out the air duct area. There are drain holes/slots on either side of the cowl. You should be able to see the drains with the hood open in/around the hinge area. On my Barracuda it had one hole and a slot on each side. If it's been a while since they've been cleaned they might be completely plugged off. Just take some semi stiff wire and start working it into all the crud. Once I got all the crud broken up and free I used a compressor and blow gun to blow into the cowl vents to force all the gunk out of there. You can also vacuum all the loose stuff out of there. A word of caution!!!!....All that cud that falls out of the drain holes will conveniently fall into another bad place. There's an enclosed place on the inside of the fender near the bottom just below the drain holes. All the junk that happens to come out of the drain hole will fall into the small cubby inside the fender. That's why Mopars get rot at the rear bottom of the front fenders. It takes a while but the fenders also have a drain hole underneath. It's hard to find/see but once it's clogged (just like the cowl) it will continue to collect twigs/leaves, dirt, small rock, etc until the fender starts to rot. GOOD LUCK. See pics
