Hi Tim, Is yours a vinyl hood? Is the leak from the stitching with no signs of a hole?
If yes to both you could try what seems to work for me. Put the hood up and if you have hood-tensioners tension them to stretch the stitching as much as possible. Using an old toothbrush work some waterproofing such as Nikwax or similar into the seam and stitching. Preferably do it on a warm day when the penetration of the Nikwax will be better. I then clean the hood with Autoglym's "vinyl and rubber care" two or three times a year, only takes seconds, and that seems to keep mine watertight which it certainly wasn't a few years ago! Just one problem, finding a dry and warm day to do it!
