WATER LEAKS in a car..YES!!!! We have a vehicle here now with a water leak ...but not the usual kind. We usually see leaks from the air conditioner. YOU can tell when the AC is the culprit because the water is no longer running from underneath the vehicle. The cowl ( the part right in front of the windshield) has a screen in it to keep leaves and debris from getting into the AC drain tube. Leaves and etc can work their way into the drain tube and that is when your problems begin!!! One of our employees..and yes he knew better :)... allowed his to get stopped up and the overflow started on his vacation!!!! Not a fun time, right??
The Vehicle has to be brought into the shop and depending on the amount of water damage can be costly to repair. We have repaired cars that the seats had to be removed, electronics runined and had to be replaced and carpet had to even be changed out, all because of pine straw!!!
SOOOOOO..the next time you raise your hood and you see leaves and etc along the "cowl panel" PLEASE take the time to remove them and from time to time vacumn out the screen..It might save you alot more than time in the end!!!!
