Water, drivers side footwell... From car?!

[beagleONE]

Hi all,
driving around today, pretty toasty at 39...
So naturally I am basking in the full glory of my AC.

Anyhow, got home after approximately a 30 min drive, with two stop offs (Engine off for twenty min on one occasion, and waiting in stationary line for 5 min at another).

And notice my thong is wet when i put it on,
upon further inspection there seems to be a leak coming from behind the dash in the middle. carpet is soaked, and its not in the passengers side.


Now the car is still hot, so I havent had a chance to check overflow for rad.
But the temp did not creep up at all up a long hill, constantly under load, just before getting home.


The only things that I have done differently were install a headunit yesterday, and put what I pressume to be the air recirculator button on (next to the AC)...



Any ideas of where I should start to look??

Is it coolant or cold water? If cold water it would be the A/C drain tube blocked or fallen off.

It appears to be cold water, it is cool to touch now. But have been home for a little bit. Certainly no noticeable hot water on my feet while driving.

Still a bit of pressure in the rad hose, so still waiting for it to cool a little more before taking overflow cap off.



im really hoping its AC drain tube... as I can handle that.
Coolant loss may just ruin my day :eek:


edit 2 - no coolant loss... happy!

edit - no sunroof either!

Thanks for steering me in the right direction bigjon :BigThumb:

Crawled under the car, found drainage points, cleared with trusty bic pen, ****tonne of water came out the drivers side, none out of passengers...


Hopefully problem solvered, heres hoping for a non mouldy smelling disco :D

Worth pulling the carpet and felt up and checking for rust - my second hand D1 had this issue and as a result has rust holes where the floor meets the firewall.

My d1 v8 did the same thing both drain tubes were blocked with mud.
