Common on keel stepped masts. Rain hits the mast, runs down and finds every halyard exit (top and bottom), electrical opening, etc. Amazing how much water comes in actually. That’s why god invented bilges (on the 8th day). Take a look the next time you drop your mast and you may find a few opening you can plug. Only so much you can do however. Be thankful there is no leaking around the collar.
