The "glob" covers a nut and bolt that is used to fasten two stainless steel stringers together. These stringers run up the length of the inner hull. I believe this is a common entry point for water. I recently witnessed this on my 2004 210 CLE. I was using a shop vac to clean remaining water out of the bilge and noticed that when I got the vacuum nozzle close to the "glob" that water was coming out from under the glob. So, I finally bit the bullet and installed a garboard drain plug on the stern to allow for drainage (same story as yours - drip, drip, drip....). As an additional measure, I recoated the glob with more Rule Elastomeric Sealant.
