My left blinker light goes out everytime it rans or everytime I wash the car. I know what is getting in but I don't know from where. I checked the lens and it does not look there is a leak. Any ideas?

Those lenses crack all over it, sometime you can't see them. You need a new lense(s). But first check the plugs to the blinker as the seals may have corroded away and the water could be getting in there that way, if so you need new sockets or you could seal them yourself with silicone..

If you take out the light housing from the bumper and blow air into the hole that the light goes in you will find your leak. They should be almost air tight. Only place it would be getting in though is the front lens. The gasket on the socket shouldn't matter hell if it wasn't airtight the water would drain out. I blew into mine found the cracks and threw some hot glue on it for a temp fix.
