Leak

[carlos85]

I know this has prob been asked, but i'm in a rush my carpet is wet in the passenger side footwell. When i had the carpets out to clean them i found a brown ish water mark under the heater going down into the footwell. Could this be from the heater? if so how do i stop it?

Thanks

if it is the matrix, you need a new one!clean it all up and leave the carpets out, see if it comes back.

i think it only does it when it's been rainning, but i can't be 100% sure. I've put sealer on the bit under the bonnet to see if that helps, but i don't think it did.

What bit have you put sealer on? Check that the drain holes in ends of the front scuttle aren't blocked with leaves & cr*p. It can fill up and overflow into the car through the heater intake.

i put bathroom sealer round the bottom of the plastic bit that stops leafs getting into the heater motor.

Could be water leaking under the windscreen seal, pull the seal back and check for rust holes!!!

Have you checked the expansion tank to see if the water level is low?

there is a leak in the system under the car, so that's a hard one
