Default Help!! Passenger Side Water Leak!!

Hey folks,

New member here.. Got in my car this morning to head to work and when I started to drive off, water started pouring from behind my glove compartment. Now, I only pulled out of my parking space, and then backed into it because the water just caught me off guard.. I've read a few other posts on here, some guys are saying in their threads that theirs was a hose breaking/leaking and some are saying it was a drain hole near the cabin air filter that was clogged with leaves and crap that pushed the water into the car...

I'm no car expert by any means, and I have been parking under trees for the past month and a half, and we've had a TON of rain the past few days... After I came back inside and looked into it a little more, I started my car, revved the engine a bit and let it idle while parked, then drove it around a bit and no water leaked at all.. Granted, I get it wouldn't leak if all the water had leaked into the car the first time...

So my question is, anyone have any ideas? I know it's difficult based on the minimal amount of information that I've given, but are we looking at just a clogged drainage slot, or are we looking at a hose being broken/leaking? What other information can I give you guys to help out?

Thanks!!

More than likely the clogged drain by the cabin air filter. There are plenty of helps on here or youtube to see how to get to it and clear it out.

Sweet! Thanks! That's kind of what I'm hoping for.
