this interesting note:


It doesn't take much of a crack in that mortar cap to cause the kind
of leak you describe.

I agree. I do not see any cracks. But the mortar may be porus enough that
after a few hours of rain it begans to seep through. I live in Colorado
where we do not get many days like that. Shows up less than once a year.
I don't think it can be coming in from the top. I just am thinking if I
sprayed on some of that Thompson's water seal it might do the job.


It might, but I doubt it will do any good. You have a small spot
somewhere that water is getting through. I suspect until you find that
one little place you will continue to have this problem...
