    Spider cracks around drains...

    My 95 GW 226 had new splashwell drains installed by the dealer four years ago. ( I did not notice any cracks then ) I am noticing small spider cracks below them, now approximatlly 2"to 3" long. Should I be concerned ? I am worried that water can seep in and eventually cause some damage.
