passenger floor wet?

Buddy Wayne · #1 June 12th, 2008, 12:49 PM

While vacuuming out my car the front passenger floor was wet under the floor mat. Even out towards the door. Is there a coolant hose on this side that could be leaking? This is a 91' Executive w/134k.

Thanks

Check the under body grommets. Each floor pan has a big oval one. My pass. front was literally slushy with water. I found the pan grommet pushed inside from the bottom/outside, yet the carpet and padding kept it 'in place'. Leaked like a faucet until I found it, re-set it and sealed it. I then did all the grommets I could find and found another pushed inside in the trunk, yet not leaking.
I pulled the pass. carpet back, and hosed it all. When I hit that grommet, water streamed in. Of course there are many other reasons too........good luck.

Pulled the carpet down from the top, right wear it starts to meet the floor, and could feel the padding wet. Couldn't get the carpet any further without feeling like I was tearing something.

Got the carpet up and its the right side that seems wet. There are 2 rubber "patches that seem to be covering holes/bolts. They are sealed into place but feel spongy. Does this help with my description?

Thanks BillyBob, that was it. I pulled the carpet and the rubber over the grommets had been leaking. Got some RTV sealant and re-sealed them. Working great. And I was looking at having them welded for $100, ended up spending $3.99.
