I noticed my oil temperature is lower on the gauge now, but that is probably because the engine is vented more as the sensor is by the oil filter.

Yes, the rubber stripping that seals the hood is no longer doing what its supposed to. I doubt it would hit the engine though, it would probably just run down the firewall.

the water will run to the fender corners just like how it would be if it is flushed. the slit is only minor, like if you opened a window a little on a rainy day. the water is insignificant, as its been raining and my car's engine is still decently dry.

I don't have that problem either. Plus the reason I raised my was for better cooling of the engine bay when you race ( it help the air pass smoothly without having to recirculate) as well as a little added down force.
