Water on passenger side? Help...

Hey,

Well yesterday was a hot day and I was driving about 2 hours each way. On the way my g/f noticed the floor was getting wet, at first I just thought it was some condensation but soon turned into a kitty pool of water. Lucky I had towels in the trunk to contain it until I got home. It seems to be leaking under the passenger side where you put your feet, when I go around turns I can hear the water slosh and just pour out. I noticed under the car there is no water spots like usual so I'm assuming it has something to do with that.

Anyone have any recomendations, looks like the condenser drain is clogged or something. Pictures would be great, I leave for Iraq next week want to get this fixed so I can use the A/C.


Thanks!

Brett

The AC drain tube is most likely your problem.

Sensor is directly under the passenger seat, remove it and the carpet to check it out... you can have the carpet out, back in, and sealered up nice in a couple of hours.

There are a few threads about this--- it seems as though a grommet is the culprit, accessible by removing the inner fender well. It isn't properly sealed when the gauge package is added in port.

Bad heater core? I had a bad heater core in my first car and damn coolant was leaking into the car in almost the exact same spot as your car.
