Well the leak is gone!

here is a picture of where the leak was - the cowling on the driver side was leaking. According to the leak guy - its been common on the 05 mustang.. he has fixed 5 05 stangs in the seattle everett area this last week. He knew just where to look - took him less than 45 min to fix.

Brien motors in everett dried out the carpets... no Damage !!!
slight smell of silicon in the interior - which should go away as it sets..

also - there is a new part for the strut tower popping sounds - however Ford has not yet authorized the TSB yet.. will be doing so soon according to my service department.

It doesn't happens to everyone, Falchion. Next big T-Storm that rolls through, just check the rain gauge in your car.

If it reads 0.00", you're ok.

wash it and spray / pour water around the cowl - two hints you have a leak , the car steams up - carpet gets wet.
