Yeh, they do come with a seal and as fantastic as the cowlings are I would prefere a compressable seal as I seem to get a bit of water coming in.

If you mean what I call the inner cowl then yes. The water is coming in on the join between cowl and base tray, a rubber seal will sort it.

 hello dan
you could try a product called boot seal you should be able to get it from any car shop or failling that go to your nearest car brakers and remove some from a car boot. this seal will knock on but it has a soft rubber o seal on top i have found this to be very afective in keeping water out!
hope you get it sorted.
