hey guys i have a te and the past week my car has been leaking in the front passengers side. Had a look at door seal and windows but nothing wrong so i started looking under my dash and found a few drops so pulled out my glove box and can see drips coming throught a couple of different places where there are screws. Thats as far as i have ventured so far but the screws appear to be internal screws to do with wiring harnesses and what not and cant find where the water is getting there from. This is very annoying as my car is parked outside 80% of the time and its been raining heaps. Has anyone got any ideas as to my problem. Hope so cuz i dont really want to start pulling my dash out. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

firstly check to see if the tube for the evaporator on the a/c is still exiting the car and is not damaged. thats where the a/c water comes from. also check to make sure it is not coolant. They are prone to rusting the tubes attached to the heater core, and it leaks into the cabin...ususally onto the ecu tho.

yeh you would know pretty quick if it was coolant by the smell. Maybe leave your a/c off for a few days to see if it stops and drys up...if you can stand the heat. Maybe it could be a leaking evaporator if no the hose?
