I/C water sprays and clutch thrust bearings don't mix

Fourth thrust bearing replaced today at my cost.
Finally discovered why frequent failure of thrust bearing was occuring.
Bloody water from I/C spray finds a route from under I/c to clutch operating lever located on top of bell housing .
Rubber gaiter does not fit snugly around lever so water flows into bell housing and directly onto bearing - Result accelerated corrosion of bearing !
You have been warned.
