Hot water, soaking driverside floor.

[CRASH05]

I thought I had a weather stip leak in my 98 D1, but when I checked it today, the floor was dry. But then after about an hour drive, the driverside floor was soaked with hot water. Now I have had this problem for a while so last week I cleaned the a/c drain tubes, but still I have the problem any ideas would be appreciated.

Does it smell like anti-freeze? Is the passenger side wet, too, or just the driver's side?

Make sure that the drain valves are connected well to the drain tubes. Check for holes in the tube.

I would suspect it to be antifreeze as well. Check your fluid level, you can also tell if its antifreeze by touching it. If its somewhat slick feeling, you know its not just water.

No its just the driver's side and no it is just water.

The A/C drains are clogged.

Crawl under the truck and look just above the front drive shaft, near the transfercase. On the transmission "tunnel" you will see 2, black, rubber nipples about 4" apart. Reach up there and squeeze them or give them a flick.

Thanks for the idea, but I did that last week with the hopes that that was thee problem.

That almost HAS to be the problem. I would check the lines and look for holes, clogs, or un-done fittings.

Condensation from the A/C would be slightly cool, not hot. Check your heater core. It might have a small leak and when pressure builds up, it starts leaking and it would leak on the driver's side.

If it were the heater core, he would smell antifreeze.

The A/C condensation is rather warm.

CJ,

The water maybe hot from driving, the floors ger real hot while driving. If it were antifreeze you would 100% smell it.
My question is has it rained prior to you driving it?

Unless, of course, the radiator system is currently running straight water w/o antifreeze....





But, if there's no smell inside, and there is antifreeze in the radiator, then you can eliminate that as a possibility.....
