drain in firewall?
ok so i have no idea what this is? Ive been having some cooling issues with my 03 cobra lately and have been slowly getting things back to normal. I just replaced on of the heater hoses by the firewall b/c it had a small hole so i hope that fixes the problem.
i filled her up, burped the system and took her for a drive to see if everything was in working order. After the drive i looked under the hood to see if there were any leaks. I didn't see any but I noticed a steady stream of water coming out of a drain hole or something out of the firewall. I took a few pics, so if anyone has any input on to what its for and if its normal id really appreciate it. I did a little research and i know it isnt coolant, its just water. and i read that it could be from the a/c condensation but i didnt have the air on. i had the heat on full blast to get the coolant circulating through it. and it wasnt a steady drip, it was a steady stream.
I posted here instead of the svt section b/c i thought is'd get more hits here and am assuming its on all new edge models. Thanks guys/girls.

i just hope it isnt from the heater core. im leaning towards it not though being as it was just water. but is it normal for it to have a steady stream of water coming out?

This weekend I worked on my car changing out the mid pipe. I had my air on, not even the a/c button on though, and still had a steady stream of water coming out of this drain for a long while.
I know in some cars, even if you dont have the a/c on, the system will still run and dry the air going into the cabin, hence creating condensation and the water coming out of the drain.
