[V8] Water Leaking in Passenger Compartment

[Justin Bowers]

Hi Kneale,

Thanks for your response.  So if I'm looking to try and unplug the drain, do
I start at the top or the bottom?  I'm assuming I remove the plenum cover
and start from there...is that correct?

Thanks again,

Justin

Most likely, if you've been using A/C, it's the little drain for the
evaporator box.  If you've been using the A/C and you park, do you get a
little puddle under the car?  If not,  that drain is plugged.  It exits the
body above the passenger side of the tranny.  There's a large drain for the
HVAC compartment that exits just toward the driver side by a couple inches
or so.  Some folks have reported success clearing the evap box drain by
running string trimmer string up the tube.  It's too small for anything
much larger than that.
