I think the opening is between the piece of wood from the lid that goes "into" the bottom section. It's almost like the sides of the bottom half need to be a little thicker.

I just put a very thin layer of 100% silicon rubber fish tank sealant I purchased a while ago around the inside rim of the lid and I think it will do the trick. Here is a pic. Let me know what you think...Thanks
