There some massive leak action going on inside the GTA. It rained extremely hard for the past several days... and there is a puddle in the passenger floor board. The windows don't leak and nothing is wet other than the carpet that I can tell.

Cowl panel? firewall? are there any areas prone to leaking?

The door is dry and the dash is dry.. and I havent driven the car... so I dont think its the wheel wells unless rain can fall up inside them

Anyone had similar prollems?

...its happened twice before when it has rained hard.

 

why not take the car through a touchless car wash and peek around with a flashlight

 

Water on the passenger front floor board can mean the heater core threw in the towel.

 

When I used to work in a body shop we did it like this. Flip upside down, with your head in the footwell, close the door and have a friend water down the car with a hose, then use a flashlight to look for the water coming in. First I would smell it though, any antifreeze odor is a dead giveaway to a shot heater core like someone else already posted.

 

Well.. Im in for the night so I cant go sniff it again... but it did not smell like anti-freeze in teh car when I saw it this time and the others. It only happens when it rains pretty hard. Im going to try the hose thing tomorrow I guess.

Thanks
