My V6 also leaking like a sieve!!
« on: 12 May 2015, 14:07:06 »

However mine's not an oil leak, it's water and getting wet in the passenger footwell.

"Ahh", I hear the cry - " 'tis your scuttle blocked up, whip it open, and pull all the dead leaves and things out."

Done that,

"Ohhh, you silly fellow", I hear you say "then your sunroof drainage channels are blocked. A length of net curtain wire will do the trick"

Done that.


It's definitely rainwater, I got it bone dry after a few days, but just a few moments ago there was a downpour so I nipped out to check and it's getting wet again. Small damp patch right at the bottom left hand corner of the NS footwell. Pulled at the trim panel by the passenger's left foot, and this had a puddle of water on top, and I pulled off the panel immediately to the left of the glovebox (PFLs have a separate panel between glovebox and doorcard) and there was a thimble's worth of water inside this too.

So I'm a bit confused here. I must be doing something wrong, or missing something.  :o

Mine leaked from windscreen Put a soapy solution on the outside of the seal and blow air from the inside look for bubbles. I had a mobile fitter that took out screen and replaced with a new seal.
