October 3, 201510 yr Well I have put the motor install on hold since it has been raining since Tuesday. Today I was grabbing a tool and noticed the foot well on drivers side is wet. Car is on jack stands and tilted back. Would this be the windshield seal? Just re-seal with more silicone? 1995 Subaru Legacy L Wagon
October 3, 201510 yr It could be a window seal, a coolant leak (like say a hose has fluid in it and it transferred through the firewall, or there could be a rust hole in the foot well area, and water dripping down from up top entered. The best way to locate sources of internal leaks is to lift the carpet and padding back, DRY everything thoroughly (like a rag and fan if needed) then put some newspaper down. Can even tape it to the vertical walls of the metal behind the pedals. Take your garden hose and douse the top of the car until the paper gets wet. The water will streak the paper.
October 3, 201510 yr my 96 doing the same thing on both sides. I think its the seal along the top of the window and or down the sides of the window. Need to pull back the trim pieces and seal I guess.
