I Found The Water Leak Into Engine Room There, Is It Ok?

[FRANKDING]

Hi All, please check my picture uploaded, I found the water may leak into the engine room from red circle part , shouldn't  it be  waterproof? 

 

I just worry the water leak into the engine room from there, then will cause the damage to the electronic part and big problems.

 

Please help to advise!

 

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum.

 

I am not familiar with the new C5 but if you have got excess rain water running into that area and then under the seals (which I would suspect the bonnet pushes down to improve the seal), then it may be the drains below the windscreen and in the corners (if there are any) are full of debris such as old leaves - there is what looks like debris in the bottom left of the picture between the wing and plastic scuttle. As a rule, on our cars I keep these areas clear to avoid future rusting and possible water ingress into the cabin - a vacuum cleaner is good for removing old leaves.
