Hi guys,
5 year old Mazda. Change my own winters every year and when accessing my breaker bar I noticed small amount of water/oil (rust proof most likely), pooling in the trench.
I thought... maybe I went through the car wash not too long ago and some water got in, so no big deal and wiped what I saw.
Now fast forward 2 months later I decided to check on it again and noticed a small amount of water/oil pooling again. I took off the foam piece sitting in the trunk to investigate further. Now I'm a little concern... if I never check, this could be a big problem. Rust, etc.
How do I stop this from happening? What do I have to take apart to fix?
