Driving in today I noticed a small drip on the driverside right abouve the right foot, never seen or felt a leak before. Anyone have a clue where I should look? I thought about maybe around the bottom of the winshield?

Not heat or A/C b/c they are both on the passenger side. Remove the cowl screen and the lower windsheild moldings(the big flat ones) and clean out the water drains. My 2.3 was doing it, dripping right on my shoe, then I cleaned it out and haven't seen a leak since, but yes the windsheild is leaking, but its path of least resistance, drain hole is easier than pushing under the W/S.

He's right both are on the pass side. I thought I'd have to take teh trim off just didn;t know what to look for. thanks! I'll check it out this weekend!:thumbsup1:

When my heater core went out it dripped on the left side. I know this because the liquid was warm and it dripped onto my ankle. After checking further I found it was dripping on both sides of the tranny tunnel.

I'd also check the grommets for the speedo cable and throttle cable. I have a little water leak when it pours from the grommet for the throttle cable, when I replaced my cable I didn't put the grommet in place and the one for the speedo cable is coming apart so it leaks a little from there...........:yes1:

The reason i asked you if the AC was used / Functional =
If the drain ( Small ABS Plastic tube ) Located low on the passenger fire wall gets plugged up =
The condensation release's inside the vehicle.
I have fixed ( 2 ) Mustangs with a plugged up drian tube.
The heat from the exhaust melted the drain opening closed.

A/C worked until May then quit so no it is not blowing a/c. I'll check that too. I really appreciate it!
