Everyone has their foibles I guess. But at least now you've had one
answer to your question.

True, but I disagree that a clean connector means no leak.  Unless the
water is dirty, or acetic, it takes some time before it makes a
permanent or visible mark.

I did say "years old weatherproofing".

I've uncovered enough connectors to know that water ingress will either cause visible effects, and/or the connector will still be *wet*.

By the time the moisture has evaporated or dissipated is some fashion, there WILL be telltale signs left behind. Bank on it.
