Penguin A/C Water Drip Fix

Four years ago, our rear Penguin A/C unit started dripping water on the bed.  It took me a while, but I finally discovered the source of the leak.  I did a kinda long post on what I found.  Unfortunately, in the heat of battle, I neglected to take any photos of my "fix". 

Yesterday, we were working on loading the coach for a trip.  Jeannie (DW) came in the house and said "Bedroom A/C is dripping water again".  I got up on the roof, took the outer and inner covers off, and exposed the water drain channel.  I could not actually see any new problem - my four year old repair appeared to be intact.  But assuming the problem was in the same general area, I added a thin layer of clear silicone sealer to the channel.  Let it dry overnight.  Very humid this morning.  I cut the rear A/C on and it has been running all day.  So far, no drips!  I will deem it fixed (again) until I am proven wrong.

Thie time, I took some photos of the source of the leak, and the (second) attempt at repair.  I am adding the photos now, and will link to the old thread below.  Having some photos might make it easier to understand my old post.

There are still some of these old Penguin A/C units in service, and hopefully this info will help if one starts dripping.
