So I just turned over 90k miles on my 2014 GT. This is a daily driver, and we've had a ton of salt due to the single digit cold snaps we've had this past year. I haven't had a chance to take it through a car wash in a few weeks either.
Anyhow I found all of my stuff soaked the other day and I tore the trunk of my car apart to figure out where the leak was coming from. It appears that the bulk of it was coming from the taillight pins, which apparently is pretty common. What I haven't heard anything about, however, is the rusty water weeping from the top of the shock tower, between the plate and the tower. I haven't been able to find anything about this online.
I drive my car hard on either Boss LS shocks or Koni Yellows, depending on my mood. I can RTV the plate for the leak, but is this something that I'm likely going to have to worry about structurally? Thanks.
