 -> doesn't look good.  I'm sure that it's leaking.  Also, it needs a

Either way, it will be a bit of work.  The patch is not accessable 
from the inside without doing major surgery.  
 -> smells more like diesel fuel than wax!

If you read the label, you will probably see that it contains 
petroleum distillates.  The more that you can smell them, the 
tougher the wax will be on your finish.  They do have their purpose, 
however.  They can make a bad finish look good, at least a while.
