Hello All,

I have a newly aquired 2001 Honda Civic LX. I recently noticed that both front floorboards and carpet were wet. Even the insulation under the dash against the firewall was wet, at least on the paaenger side. All I know about the vehical is that it was wrecked on the passenger side. A detailer told me honda's and toyotas were bad about heater core leaks, windshield leaks and so on. It looks as if someone tried to seal the heater core before. I dunno. I take it to the detailer Thursday and he's going to try and figure out where the leak is before removing all the carpet. Any other ideas of the leak origin?

 

A crack or opening from an old wrecked?

 

If it's leaking from the heater core, the stuff will smell like antifreeze. A clogged evaporator drain will cause water to drip inside the car when you run the A/C (or defroster, in cool humid weather). If it has a sunroof, those can drip because the drain tube is clogged or the frame is rusted out. Otherwise it probably is rain water leaking around the windshield or a crack in the body where it was wrecked.

 

My body guy checked the windshield and said it was good. I can not smell any antifreeze in the floor board either. I think there is a crack in their somewhere.

 

i too am having an issue with a "leak" in my car. today was the first rain since i bought the car.

glass fogged up, i turned the defroster on full blast.
my bare-foot passenger said something was dripping on her feet from under the glove box.

i told her to smell it, she said she couldnt tell how it smelled. so i assume it was water. leading me to believe its a clogged evaporator drain?

how would i solve this issue?
