Euro Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I've noticed something underneath my car was leaking something for the past couple days. I first noticed it on Monday, but put my fingers on it and looked at it and it's just water. I didn't think anything of it because Monday we had a huge wet snow/rain storm all day. I noticed it again yesterday, the puddle was kinda big, probably 8 inches in diameter. Well, it's still leaking today....my question is what the fuck is this thing and why is it leaking so much water? Is it some kind of drainage channel and the rubber plug or whatever is just bad? Here is a couple of pics.. Here's the general location, it's right underneath the passenger side seat for location accuracy. Anybody?

Euro Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 mmk...so apparently it's a drain plug for my floor....time to go see how much water I have, and where the leak is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviLette Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Drain plug? What's that! I thought those only came on boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per0781 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 my moms old 99 regal used to gather water there. the abs module is located under the passenger seat and the water fucked it up. the problem was the front windshield wasn't properly sealed from the factory.

Euro Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 yeah...there's quite a bit of water. Going to remove my seat in the car wash parking lot ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismellrealbad Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 ya if thats letting water thru u should prolly notice a nice soppy puddle there, or at least dampness. does your car smell like fungus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, his carpet has to be trashed if he's dripping that much water from that drain plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 ya...it was pretty wet. I never noticed it because nobody sits over there, and it doesn't smell. I pulled the seat, and stuck the car wash vacuum hose under the carpet, got probably 60% of the water out. There aren't any "puddles" anymore. The foam padding is soaked on most of the passenger side. But the top of the carpet isn't soaked, only a little damp. I'm hoping the rain holds off tomorow and Friday so I can pull the carpet this weekend and dry it out. And THEN figure out where the leak is coming from. There are a couple possible areas. Sunroof, or it's coming in through the cowl via the HVAC system. son bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yep, they are body plugs. Meant to let water drain out. No car seals perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 my guess is its coming from the cowl. there is a thread on clubgp somewhere about how to fix it. i think the title was something to do with installing a cabin air filter and there was info about it.

Euro Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yeah that is my guess as to where it's coming from. That seemed to be where there was the most water, in the front floorboard. I'll have to fix it before it rains Friday!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 2 Gen = aftermarket = WIN But do you think that water is from the cowl like mentioned or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm positive it's from the cowl. After searching clubgp, there are dozens of threads on this. My passenger side door doesn't leak, the sunroof doesn't leak(it did..doesn't anymore) so this is the only other option. I haven't ran the a/c yet this year so the a/c vents aren't clogged to stop water and make it leak inside the car. I'll pop the cowl off tomorrow and see. Just hope I can get to it before it starts raining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
