there is only so many things that can cause this and are you sure its anti-freeze and not washer fluid.just something else.a damaged heater core is usually what causes a leak inside the car.when the heater cores were replaced did the shop say there were signs of them leaking or couldn`t see anything.the other is coolant from a previous leak could have spray aroung the air ducting in the dash and has finally found a way out.but this should have been gone shortly afterwards and usually there is only a mist that is sprayed into the air ducts which usually shows up on the inside of the windows,so i don`t think this is the problem.if the hose clamps are loose were the hoses are fastened to the heater core spigots/tubes it could be leaking inside the cars air duct.and yes its unusall for anti-freeze to leak onto the drivers floor but stranger things have happened.
check antifreeze level make sure its full with antifreeze and not just water if full check heater core for leaks see if it is antifreeze on the passenger side floor
are you sure it is water, smell it to ensure it is not antifreeze (smells sickly sweet), if it is antifreeze possibly heater core leak, otherwise check for plugged evaporator drip tube (with a/c of course), could also be leaking body panel (cracked chalking etc). hope this helps
Hi , Its leaking water on the passenger rear floor? It could be the heater core leaking and running down the floor board to the rear of the vehical. Do you smell antifreez or see moisture build up on the windshield ? does the car seem more "humid" inside?
The smoke you could be seeing may be steam, your heater inside the vehicle may have a leak and causing steam to rise out of the vents, if you are smelling the steam this is what I suspect. Engine vibration could be a number of things, check the engine mounts to start, one of them is probably broken.
will pepper swtop a radiator leak
Improvement done by sickofjunk
There are radiator sealants available at many auto parts stores. I
personally have never been able to get them to work though another good
way to seal a leak if it is on the aluminum part of the radiator is to
soder it with silver soder. And no i don't think pepper will stop a
radiator leak.
