    Water leaking into cabin...

    Title says it. Some how, some where there is water leaking into my car. It's not rain, we've had a dry week. It was dry, then when I start the car and turn it off water pours into the passenger side. There's more water in the back than the front. The AC was taken out but all that was removed was the compressor and hard lines in the engine bay. Nothing was plugged. Help please ?

    How much water are we talking about? The picture painted in my head is gallons of water pouring in, but I imagine it's a smaller leak than that.

      It's at least a gallon. I know I'm losing a lot of water from the radiator, I've got a picture on my phone but cannot post it on here for some reason.

        Check the heater core hoses going into the firewall. One has a valve on it. If the heater core is deleted the hoses need to be removed and the water necks caped off. If that's been done.

          That sounds like the culprit, I'd suggest to keep the car parked until you can fix it. Who pulled out the A/C? I believe there's a little more to removing it properly, I did a quick search on the forum and found some answers, however my iPad refreshes each page when I visit them so I can't post any links. Just search AC delete or AC Remove.

            Here are the hoses to check. If these are connected like so then I would check on the cabin side and see what you find there.

            If you have water pouring in when you start the car and you are noticing your radiator is dry or low then this is the first thing I would check.

            Hoses are marked in green.

              Both hoses are fine, the valve moves when I turn the temp knob from cold to warm, and it was on cold the whole time. It's on hot now and there isn't any water leaking from it, at least from what I can tell. I pulled the carpet up and checked to see where the water is coming from but couldn't tell./:

                More water in the back of the car than the front? Does your car hold rain water and not drain properly? Does it have a smell or feel that is different from water?

                  Well the water is a brown color. Like cola. It feels like regular water, just discolored. I'm thinking about pulling the whole carpet out and riding around to see where it's coming from.
