Water down the electrical conduit and on top of furnace!

Homeowner noticed water on the floor,realized it was coming down from the electrical conduit.

Why?
wind driven rain,snow,could get in.

Checked all the possible entry points,the top of this pitch pan needs to be resealed also

Top of heat exhaust copuld defionitely use a touch of sealant around base.

Notice the proximity of the drain,so many ways for the water to get in in such a small area.

Sealant will do the trick,for now.
Water down the electrical conduit? i wonder why?

Top of pitch pan after also being sealed
Collar around base of heat exhaustwas also sealed
