well where do i start, in a nutshell gave it some beans last night and suddenly my passenger next to me screams shouting hot water just dropped on her foot!

well i look underneath and behind the right hand side of the glovebox under the dash an oily water is dripping down quite fast! anyways im assuming its the heater system or somet so i turn off the fans and it seems to slow it down quite a bit...

i get in the car this morning and i get the add coolant beep, guessing it leaked quite a bit when i was out last night so topped it up....

any ideas/suggestions people?

thanks.

i had this problem one time with my fc. it was leaking from one of the heater core lines.  my problem was a small crack on the line in the engine bay. sanded it down and put some jb weld on it.

Heater matrix thing behind the dash, I guess. Not too pleasant a job to change, either, by all accounts, and certainly not unknown for them to leak. Get it sorted before it leaks into your ECU down there as well as loses enough coolant to do nasties to the engine!

heater matrix not a very pleasent job either! if you need to by pass it for now by disconnecting the two pipes going through the bulkhead on the passenger side.
