 I think, it must be the seals.=C2=A0 I am going to try to get a look at it=
 with my inspection camera, but I don't think I will be able to get it insi=
de the box.=C2=A0=20
  I am afraid the only thing to correct it, is taking out the heater box an=
d rebuilding it.
  I don't think it could be a mouse nest, from what I can see.
