Is my car leaking??
Hey guys. So it has been raining pretty hard here in Socal for the past week. And today the sun finally decided to show it's face again. But i've noticed something weird about my car. When i was driving in the rain i heard almost a leaking noise of water trickling from my left ear coming from the driver side window area. I made sure all the windows were up and everything seemed good. Now as the sun is warming my car, i went outside and all the windows were fogged up pretty bad to the point that they had water droplets and condensation. On top of that the carpeting was damp and the car had a wet/ almost moldy stale smell to it. Honestly, i'm freaking sick of my car giving me all this trouble does anybody know where i should start to look for leaks? On the top of my windshield there is a gap from the weather stripping to the glass is this normal? I will take some pics later on. Thanks for the help! And merry christmas!

I think i might cry. The evaporator core really? After everything that has been going on in my life right now and all the expenses this pops up, potentially costing $1k+. FML... You know i thought it smelt a little coolanty, musky.

then GO TO POST # 15 and look at his # steps....specifically start with #5 if that doesnt fix it, work on the other 4 tim but most the time it is the sunrook drains being clogged.
5.Moonroof Drain Clogged
+ Fill a cup of water and place it in the Moonroom Drain
+ It should flow out underneath behind the front tire.
+ Check if it is leaking in the car.
+ If it is use compressed air to blow the debri out of the drain.

it could also be a leaking windshield like myself and a few other members had....but start with the simple stuff first

Looked at the links. I'm going to check the moonroof drain tommorow and pull up the carpet. But i still think it might be the evap. My compressor went out a few months back so i haven't been using my AC, BUT when it was raining last week i had to turn on my front defrosters because the car was getting really foggy. So it could be rainwater leaking or it could be from the AC system. But it does smell really weird, almost musky/moldy/tart smelling, doesn't really smell like fresh water...

My car leaks from the sunroof I just notice it when it rain and all my windows was foggy all-day. (I'm in the hvac business) So I check the sunroof cause just the back floor was wet the roof was only wet in the back right side. And I notice water on ground on a dry day I was woundering where that was coming from. I haven't check to see if it was stop up some where but imma check before it rain again. 94 ls400
