Default Got a water leak

Not a typical water/coolant leak. In about a day of rain i get a 2 inch puddle on my drivers side by my feet. I cant figure out where its coming from. Its doin the osmosis thing through the floor. N othign is dripping from the top. I spent 1 hour in my car looking for drips while it was raining. i dunno if anyone else has had a problem like this and hunted it down but any help would be appreciated.


Btw: its in my crx

do you have a sun roof? check you drain tubes if you do, they get clogged up and overflow after 13 years

You mean coolant and water drip inside your car?

I have the same problem man, except it's behind my driver seat. A little leaking in my hatch too...which I'm guessing is the tail light gaskets. CRX also here. I dont mind the water too much, it's the nasty stentch and condensation on the inside of my windows that I hate. I have to carry a rag to wipe down all the water from the windows so I can see

yeah it does tend to cause the windows to fog up more since the extra moisture in the car. Which is very annoying by itself. But basically the whole drivers side is water for me. The back doenst really get anything in it.

If you have an amplifier, check that the water isn't running along the wire through the firewall.

Well put some work into the leak problem today. I sealed my tail light gaskets...since new ones from honda are $20 each! I also tore apart my interior and found my clogged *** sunroof drains. Cleared it up so now it should flow like hell! I pulled the end of this off and a ton of water came spraying out like a frieken garden hose. Here's the end where it was clogged...it was like this on both of them (is there front drains for the sunroof too?)

I basically took out all of the rear interior, found the drain lines, took out the end plugs, got the **** out, and slapped it back in. I think there's 2 front lines too...but I have no idea of how to get to those.

Check for any holes under ur car if any fill them up with silicone
also get ruberized coating is a tall can black spray good for covering up holes

No I don't, I have a helms too and I couldn't find much on where they really go. The only way to really get to them is take out the rear interior. It's really not that bad though, I did it all in under 1.5-2 hours...and taking my sweet ol' time.
