I've smoke tested a few watery headlamps and they all leak from the main housing. Clients balk about the cost to replace along with the module(s) and I don't know what happens from there because I haven't seen one buy the correct repair yet!
My recommendation is to pressurize the headlamp assembly with smoke in the same manner you would smoke test an engines intake tract looking for vacuum/boost leaks and then you will have your answer instead of throwing parts at it hoping to get lucky.

Hey stuck which seal exactly were you referring to?
