Default Siphons, anti-siphons & wet exhausts

nav babbles incoherently:

The point is that it is never perfectly sealed. Piston engines work
because they run fast enough that gas leakage past the piston is not a
problem. A similar issue exists in turbo seal leakage in t-charged
marine engines. Then there's the water injection point ...

But if it is sealed then how can water get into it?

Seems to me that a sealed exhaust system would not be able to siphon
water back in now matter how much the boat rocked...
