I traced it back to the assembly cover motor dampener. i removed that and found water inside. it appears to be actually coming down a vent behind the motor dampener inside an air vent. please help me figure out where the water is coming from so i can stop it. thanks http://www.********************...=GE&Type=&Mark=6
