Default Windshield leak ??

'99 coupe, water droplets/slight fogging, left lower windshield area only (next to "a" pillar, happened all the sudden few weeks back, most moisture actually covering the VIN, nothing near the vents, only when car has been sitting for a few days, and seemingly more so after a rain. Start car, defrost on, clears right up, or, sits out in sun and it goes away, no residue on glass, no antifreeze smell ?? Any help would be appreciated -Mark

I would check the udders in the engine compartment to see if they are clogged and slightly backed up with water. This is a common thing. Do a search on here to see pictures and location of the udders. If they back up you get water inside the floorboard and it can damage things you really do not want to have to replace!! Good Luck.
