Head Hatch Leak

When we get heavy rains I've been getting a leak around the port side, forward corner of the head hatch. Tried cauking around the hatch and that seemed to work for a while. Then tried cauling around the main hatch since that was a culprit on my C 30 as well as caulking around the mast base. Still getting a leak.

Anybody have a similar problem and solution? Any suggestions would be welcome.

is it the gasket seals?
also check that there is not cracks in the mast book area.

I'm likely going to rplace all of my lewmar hatches next year.
Expensive but likely worthit for a 1998 boat if i want to stay dry.

now to figure out the swimming pool I have in my bilge!
