Merry Christmas to all, on my way home from work tonight my 05 v6 vz was so kind as to begin leaking on my feet in the drivers footwell. Just a couple drops coming from behind the steering column. Reaching my hand up behind the column I can feel it is dripping from the top down. The liquid was defiantly water, not coolant. One would assume it to be the air con. I have done a bit of reading and looked at a diagram and have come up with a few ideas. I know very little about air cons
1. Most likely air con leak. I watched the water drain out freely later this afternoon suggesting that the drain pan is not clogged. If it is easy to check I might start with that. I also read about an overflow pipe in the area? I know their is an aircon duct running across the area from door to centre console area. Is it possible that condensation is being pushed through here?
2. Less likely - heater core leaking. I doubt this as I was told the core is on the passenger side and it should be coolant leaking if it was the case. The other idea is that their is a heater hose running through the fire wall that could be the culprit
3. Very unlikely- windscreen is not sealing properly. I highly doubt it as no issues after rain.
Not sure where to start on this one guys, hoping that it is a common issue, Thanks JC
