leaking tv antenna
Anyone have experience with water leaking down tv antenna crank up shaft?

It is probably coming from the place where the cable enters the base of the antenna. There is a rubber covering that often works its way off. I put some caulking compound on mine and then replaced the covering.
While you are up on the roof attending or checking that, take a can of Silicone spray up there and squirt a generous amount down the antenna where it cranks up. That should be done a couple of times a year to keep the thing operating smoothly and probably prevent the O rings from leaking.
Check out the subject on this site.
Also, page 4 of this manual tells exactly where to put silicon spray on the antenna to keep it from leaking. There are a couple of other spots that I didn't mention above.
