It may be your brass scupper tubes if you have the Potter type that go straight down thru the bottom. Take a look at the flare where it goes through the bottom; the brass flare corrodes over time and pieces of the flare break off so they're no longer water tight. Gillie and I both did some posts several years ago on how to replace those tubes. Denny
