97 se sdan passanger side wate leak
when u turn on the blower an make turns water pures out of the heater box anybody had this problem need help asap search aint coming up wit anything
Unless something totally unexpected has occured, the most common cause for water intrusion thru the heater/ac system is caused by a blocked/clogged/pinched a/c case drain hose. (This is where that dripping water comes from on a humid summer day). This happens only when the a/c is used.
The second most common cause is a leaking Heater Core and involves coolant (antifreeze). It is usually paired up with an unexplained coolant loss.
Both causes usually show up at the passangers' foot area as a wet carpet.

no sorry i ment to say its not a heater core prob its plan water an it pures out i checked the drain tube it seems to be letting water out but i didnt know if the accord had a prob with cowl gormets like my integra
Although I've run into cowl leaks in Domestics ( a real pain in the P'tootie ), I've yet to see it in an Accord.
I would suspect a windshield leak close to the bottom, b4 I'd start looking for dead leafs in the plenum drains.
Has the windshield ever been changed out?

A technique I learned for water leak and wind noise diagnosis is basically the cigarette test. It comprises;
A) A garage with a door that will close, and can shelter your car
B) A Fully charged Battery
C) A functioning Heater/AC Blower system
D) and a Cigarette
The drill?
1) Light the cigarette and determine that it is calm enough in your garage that the smoke travels straight up (NO Drafts).
2) Roll up all windows and close all doors.
3) Turn on heater/AC blower on high fan Speed, fresh air setting.
4) Maneuver the cigarette along any seam, gasket or molding that you might suspect might hide or contribute to your leak or noise.
Since you've developed a positive pressure within the passenger compartment with the blower motors, there will be turbulence in the area of your leak which the cigarette smoke will indicate by being disturbed by the air movement.
It will be very obvious because the smoke will move sideways as opposed to straight up.
