As any car electrician can tell you.

Only badly made ones. Properly done, they are airtight.



Not on any typical car loom I have seen. Just look at the BT style of
crimp for telephone cables. Jelly filled, self amalg tape..and they
STILL fail.

The crimps used on car wiring are nearly always 'uninsulated' crimps
which I suspect are much less good at being airtight.
