I think a plug would be a 'dodgy fix'. The water should not be allowed to get into the hats AT ALL. I suggest the strut tops are insufficiently sealed.

If the water pools in there, then it means foul odour can enter the car, or when the boot/trunk gets hot, the water will evaporate and potentially cause other damage.

As mentioned, that pic was after 60km of driving, literally the morning after I bought the car, we pulled the suspension out. You can only imagine after a month of driving in the rain, how much moisture can get in there.
