What can be done to keep outdoor post lamps from leaking. Can't seem to keep a light bulb working and I assume it's from water/dampness leaking into the lamp itself.

Have you noticed water, or are you just guessing?
The fixtures should be designed to keep water from getting in on the top and sides, and let water out from the bottom.
This could just be because the fixtures are of less than high quality mfg, or because something has broken.
If it is just condensation, which cannot be avoided during some seasons, leaving them on all night will help to dry them out.

I feel your pain.
All I needed to do was adjust my sprinkler head.
Could this be your dilema aswell? Hot and cold.. Something has to give, usualy the lamp (or GFCI, in my case).
