Default Drivers side footwell soaked?

Any of you guys experience this? I did some searching and I found a bunch of folks with GS's or LS's with this problem and some were attributed to an evaporator leak (big $$$$!).

I'm hoping it is the drains for the moonroof or the drain for the A/C condenser.

Checking with this forum to see if any of you have had this problem and what the fix was.

Thanks!

Most probable cause are that the Expansion valve could have got damaged and that does cause leak. It is located behind the servo damper assy, and all this behind your cluster. They are all DENSO brands.

"behind your cluster"

Do you mean the instrument cluster? Any idea how complex this job is?

Thanks!

yes ! you may have to remove the the Nav and stereo sys out, and check them out.
If you a grease monkey, this should not take more than two hours to disassemble, the fix back time is more quick. depends on how you take it from there.
