passenger footwell wet and slow drip under engine

Featured Replies

Foot well wet on LHS of passenger side and a water drip from underside of the engine at the gearbox end.

Seems to occur in dry weather and so not puddle or rain related.

Not noticed any coolant loss though.

Does the drip suggest the heating matrix?

 

I have searched for footwell water and it seems to be the grommet at the rear of the pollen filter can leak.

Be from the aircon unit as the unit is cold but the weather is hot. Does it on all so I wouldn’t worry about it.

If you have air con in your car it could be this:

 

My transit connect, leaks water around my foot right up by centre console.


I know it’s not the same car but the condensate drain pipe which exits under the car/van (common method on many vehicles) gets  blocked and the water from the aircon then drains from the unit back into the footwell. Luckily I can acccess the the drain pipe inside the footwell and push a zip tie down to clear it, then a quick blow with an airline, to clear for another year or so.

 

Worth a check if you have aircon; if not it could be heater matrix issue?
