hi all

I've notice that my vs has started leaking water behind the motor somewhere it's about 3 drips every time you park the car. I've checked all the horse's on the top of the motor but i can't pin point where it's coming from.

Does anyone have a idea What it is

As said prolly heater core, could be heater hoses near the firewall, heater tap may be damaged, I'll have to look for signs of water runs, look under the car about the trans to see any water resting on it or running down the exhaust pipes

If it's not the A/C and it's leaking from between the motor and the bellhousing it probably will be the rear welch plug - they rust out eventually and it's engine out to fix....However a can of "stop Leak" will make it last a year or so generally.
