Anybody had issues with water leaking in through their wall thimbal? Mine is fully sealed outside with silicone around the house connection and then high heat silicone around the pipe. I have snow and ice melting off roof and hitting pipe and it's somehow getting inside of thimbal and leaking through the clamp inside. So sòmehow it's following pipe inside with no signs outside

Do you have the thimble type that has fresh air intake built into it? If so I would suspect the intake frosted up and now is melting with increased temps
