Does it leak only while driving?? Check the antenna leading on the drivers
side. Check up in the area where the antenna lead comes in. I have seen rust
in this area, on both sides.  Also, using a coat hanger, may not have
cleared it completely. Not only do the hoses plug, but the drains in the box
itself.
