Question water in headlights, L side of 2005 SJ8l !!

Weird things are happening with my headlights, but the strangest of all is that after a drive, water is dripping down the INSIDE of ly left two headlights! I just had a water leak fixed - radiator replacement, and pressure tests show no leakage. If I leave the back cover off, then, it is normal. But when it is closed... drips go down, like you would see after taking a shower in a bathroom with no ventilation. My mechanic who is well known and ery good cannot find the problem and there are no water leakswhen taking off the bottom pan, driving, then parking over clean white paper. With AC off of course... no drip. anywhere, and the light does no drip because it is watertight!. But again, if I leave open the screw on cap, the, it is fine. Note: Have had 2 mechanics look for this. HINTS?

Tony,

This is the 1997-2003 X308 section of the forum, try the X350 section you should get a better response there.
