It doesn't have to be much. I heard a story how a guy would start up and run fine then as soon as it got warm it stopped, they couldn't figure out why for months. Until they stood their and watched under the bonnet, as soon as it got warm this tiny pin hole in the radiator hose expanded just enough to send a tiny jet of water onto the dissy and it shut off almost strait away. So if your leads are a bit old then it could be enough water is getting in there to make your car run like crap. You wouldn't really be able to see water on anything in there cause it would all get warm and evaporate very quickly. Apparently the old mini's were bad in the rain with water on the dissy, my dad solved the problem with putting a plastic bag over his and it was no longer a problem. Maybe try that as a trial and error type thing to eliminate the dissy as the problem. [Report message to a moderator]
