Maybe its the cap on the exaust pipe that is leaking?

Thats what I thought - but I've had a good look and its does not seem to be the case (the inside of the cap and immediate top of the inner tube looks dry)..

Plus, its not been raining here for an hour now (but there is still some standing water on the roof around the pipe) - and its still dripping inside - so I guess that rules out the cap as the problem.

I think the inner pipe might have a join at some point (as its a corrugated pipe at the bottom where it joins the geyser, but a rigid pipe at the top where it exits the outer pipe) so I think the water is entering where the outer pipe joins the roof, then running into the inner pipe at the join.

I think....

Besides, - if I reseal where the outer pipe joins the roof, and then it still drips, I know its not that! [rofl]
