does it smell sweet? it sounds like the core. not that hard to replace, just take your time. do you know how to do it? if not, check the forum to see if someone else posted, if none there, post and I will walk you through it. then sit back and have two beers while bragging to your buddies. :grin:

have you had any hard rains recently? do you have a sunroof? that might be the drain plug for the sunroof if you have one.

It only leaks when the A/C is on ? if so it could be the A/C Evaporator drain is plugged or the hose came off. Do you see it drain underneith the car ? If not than its most likely that.

Ditto's. Same issue here. I did tighten the torx screws on the blower, and that seemed to fix it for ahwile. But now, when taking a hard left, the blower/fan whines and the water drains out all onto the passenger's feet. I have a '94 850 with sunroof.

- What should I check? What would cause this?

Thanks in advance!
