It is difficult to say. I would generally say that it would take more time than that to saturate any significant portion of your cores. But, this is just a guess for your particular situation - assuming this is even your problem to begin with. My personal experience with the human observation of various "problems" is that we often perceive things to have developed quickly when in fact they developed quite slowly over time - unnoticed. Then, once the problem reaches some noticable threshold, we QUICKLY become aware of them - a very different situation altogether that tends to lead us to an incorrect conclusion.

In any event, rather than continue to speculate, you need to determine if water penetration is, in fact, your particular problem here. Then you can report back to this forum if you wish.
