T25 Water leak under front drivers door

Post by **BiC** » 12 Mar 2007, 09:22

Guys, I'm a little mystified by a leak that I've noticed on the drivers side, front of my Aztec camper. Its a 1600 desiel F plate '89. Noticed water just seems to accumulate at the lowest edge of the wheel rim and drip constantly after a wet spell.

I've checked the surrounding area under the van and its wax oiled and not damp. Could the rain be getting into the body/door some how then running to this point when its parked up?

Any advice appreciated.

Mark

you sure its water?

It think its water - I've not tasted it, but it has no smell to it and the road dries not leaving any stain.

Would there be any other pipe under the drivers side wheel arch that may leak?

possibly a leaky windscreen or door seal?

water does get into the door of most vehicles down past the wind up window seal. there should be a drain in the bottom of the door somewhere which could have become partially blocked by the wax-oil process allowing water build up and slow release?
or your van could be knacked

The washer bottle is located on the nearside of the vehicle.
