Weeping Thru Hull on 25D

Just put #99 into the water. The wooden backing plates of both cockpit drain thru hulls are wet on the fore side and water slowly drips in. The aft part of the backing plates are dry and the head and sink thru hulls are ok. I've never seen this before now. I wonder if engine vibrations have caused the seal to separate? A bit late to find this - I've caulked the edge of the plates and will see what happens when the wooden plates expand. Anyone had similar experiences?thanks
