That got your attention, didn't it? My car obviously leaks somewhere, into the front floorboards. That in itself is not such a mystery - I don't know just where the leak is, but it's clearly somewhere in front. The really weird part is that although I have wet-vacuumed repeatedly and we've had no more precipitation, the water continues to collect. If I ignore it, it just stays the same depth/amount. If I vacuum it up, it should stay gone, no? No. It will stand to a depth of an inch or more, when we've had no additional precipitation for days.
If there was a repository of water above the level of the floor, why wouldn't it all flow down at once, and get vacuumed up at once? I get it as dry as I can, then the next day or just several hours later, it's 1" deep again.
I've had it suggested that there's an issue with the air conditioning hoses, or the drainage from the windshield is plugged with debris - but I haven't used the AC yet this year, and dang it, it's been days since we got rain and I've vacuumed up a gallon or more 4 times so far --- So where the heck is this water coming from?
There is more on the passenger side than the driver's side, and the bulk of the refilling seems to happen on the passenger side.
The back doors used to slosh after a rain too, but I haven't seen that happening lately. The trunk leaks too, so there's always a puddle in there, but not as much as up front, and it doesn't refill after being sucked dry.
I'm considering drilling a hole in the floor to drain this stupid mess. I'm certainly not going to invest any money in trying to fix it up - I intend to use it up and throw it away within the year - but if anyone has any ideas of what might be causing the problem, maybe I can fix it myself or at least understand what's going on.
Thanks in advance, and if you have any equine-related questions, please feel free to ask.
