t8fanning Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Most times I back out of my hilly driveway there is a significant drip of water. I checked it out one time and found that it came from above the exhaust heat shielding a little behind or right below the drivers seat area. Any ideas what this is? It's pure water, and my coolant level is normal and non-varying. Any ideas what this is? It may not even be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnout8488 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yup. Terrible drain point considering these shields rot out so easily, but it's up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t8fanning Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Should I do anything about it because it rots the heat shield or just not worry about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Not sure if anything can be done, maybe buy a new shield now so you'll have it in a few years if yours ever falls off Mine is only holding on by one or two of the plastic fasteners, not sure how, but it's still hangin in there!

'93 Dave Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 are your rain water drain pipes clogged? i believe theres two of them right above the firewall. near the hood cowl. certain angle could help the water come out? (since your saying pure water, not coolant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(since your saying pure water, not coolant) I don't think they are clogged, because the leak isn't by the turbo heat shield. It is under the exhaust piping heat shield under the car. The drip is about under the seat behind the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
