pipster11 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ok Has anyone noticed a common place for the stagea's to leak? i"m getting water in near the ecu/heater blower i had one grommit unseated but i checked the area after some rain and it was dry Is it likely that there is some rust at the bottom of the windscreen? (common problem of vl's) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348564-ive-sprung-a-leak/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveB Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Have you still got your passenger side weather strip attached? When I had mine removed () and washed the stagea with the usual pay-n-spray high pressure job, I found if I sprayed too directly at the passenger window seal some water made it into the sill and that's exactly where it ended up... around the ECU/passenger foot well. Also there seem to be a few people on here who have had to replace their heater core; could be that too I guess?

Tangles Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 sounds like heater core to me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348564-ive-sprung-a-leak/#findComment-5604121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunkist Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 sounds like heater core to me +1 common problem for older cars when the coolant becomes old. it rust's through the core and leaks. happened in my other car. i reverted the coolant to heater piping, pulled it out n got it reconditioned for about $60-$70. put it back in and swapped the piping back. All was well! This was a supra so I dont think it will be much more for the stag! gave me a lifetime warranty as well.

pipster11 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Defs not the heater core, just rain water weather strip is still in place i do get water onto the drivers sill tho but i don't think it gets into the car i reseated a grommet but i didn't think it was causing it, its sunny now so i won't know for a while Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348564-ive-sprung-a-leak/#findComment-5606038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk72 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Defs not the heater core, just rain water weather strip is still in place i do get water onto the drivers sill tho but i don't think it gets into the car i reseated a grommet but i didn't think it was causing it, its sunny now so i won't know for a while its normally a grommet, they get old and split or people push through more wires and cause them to leak, it could also be your drains around where it draws air from for your aircon / heater, just do a water test with a hose, spend 5 min with water running on one spot then move on start lower and move your way up so water doesnt run over any bits Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348564-ive-sprung-a-leak/#findComment-5606238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Rogers Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 also check the sunroof drains as one of them comes out in that area. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348564-ive-sprung-a-leak/#findComment-5607829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat-lad Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 check to the windowscreen seals around the top, mine used to leak a little on the drivers side, and i found that the inner sealant had shrunk and split just resealed it and its all sweet, Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/348564-ive-sprung-a-leak/#findComment-5607889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
