Possible. I did re-seat and seal that stanchion this summer during my leak chase. That didn't fix it. Then I found the hatch was guilty. Like you say, it could easily be one of the screws. I'm going to do some work on that hatch flange and see what I can figure out.
I'll probably take all the deck hardware off too since I want to repaint the deck too.
