Default Ventus ballast leak

Same problem on my V2C SN30
I only started to fly with water this season.
I noticed water dripping out of the fuselage draining hole just in
front of the wheel, after landing.

The repair as described by Cindy sounds horrible.
Need to try the bee wax next season.

Thanks all for the responses. I use the chapstick hint for sealing the
dump valve and I'll try to use it for sealing the actuator rod leak.

To Cindy, since I'm in Brazil I unfortunately cannot bring the plane
for fixing at Caracole. Do you have any pictures on the fix you have
done? The hole was cut on the underside of the wing, right? Do you
know the position of the center?
