dripping from under dash, passenger side
Hello again...
I've got a leak coming from under my dash in the passenger side. I have the glove box and related trim off already, so I am looking at the blower and (I'm guessing the heater core). And I've got a leak. This only occurs when the A/C has been on for a while. Usually when I take a left turn, there is a sound of water moving, then a gurgling noise (as it makes it to the blower?) and water comes out from all over. If I've been on the highway for long enough, my first left turn brings water out from the gasket around the blower (but not out of the motor). I've looked and looked for this leak, but it's on the firewall side, and I can't see where it is coming from. I had to pull the foam pad out from under the carpet and I got about a gallon of water out of it and the related area. My guess is that it's pooling in some part of the exchanging system, but I'm not sure what to remove or look for from this step. Are we looking at a replacement, or something cheaper like cleaning out a clogged drain? Or something else... please help me maxima gods or my *** will be like this dude :redbounce this summer. |
The a/c condensation drain hose is most likely clogged up with leaves/pine needles/misc. trash/etc.....

ok, so where would I go about finding this hose? what part of my car must I dismantle next?
|
Interesting... a few months ago I came to the car to find some water on the carpet in that area, I never figured out where it could be coming from and just let it go because it never happened again.
Cant wait to see what you find out. |
IIRC,the hose exits out the firewall,below the heater hoses...

ok so here's the intermediate update. I tried taking the housing off the bottom of the core, and I wasn't all that successful. I took the thermostat off of the core and was able to poke in there and it is really dirty. Like leaves and pine needles... not very nice. 1/2 in to my poking, i hear "gooosh", and all this water is spilling out from the firewall on to the driveway. So I'm hoping that it's unblocked, I have to change my oil this weekend so I can probably get a better look at it. I'll post an update with pics when I get them.
