Default Water dripping inside car

I have an 04 coupe. Unfortunately I had to leave it outside during some heavy rainfall. As soon as I drive away and turn right, some water drips onto my left foot and ankle.

Any ideas how the water could be finding its way inside?

Check the udders under the fire wall in the engine compartment I suspect the one on the drivers side is pluged up with debris

Do I get to the udder by crawling under the car? Or can I open the hood and reach down?

The ones on the driver side is under the wiper motor here is a photo of ones that are clogged. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...ghlight=udders
I'll try to find a good photo of the one on the passenger side and do a second post Here is a good picture of the one on the passenger side see post 65. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...=udders&page=4 Hope this helps if not do a search on water leaks there is some good info out there.

Found the ones on the drivers side. Real easy. I'm gonna wait for the next rainfall to see if that worked, before I try to get to the passenger side one.

Thanks for the info!

When you run the AC you should get condensate out of the the passenger side. When you wash the car I believe it will run out of the drivers side.

Actually, when I run the AC, I can hear the condensation sizzle as it drips onto the headers. So I'm ok on that side.

Thanks again.
