Ford Ka Leaking

    My 1997 Ford Ka has suddenly started leaking into the passenger footwell. I've checked the windscreen and the run-off filters and they are both fine but now I have no idea of the cause.

    Has this happened to anybody before? Does anybody know what causes this?

    Could it be your radiator matrix or hoses??? Is it coolant or just ordinary water that is leaking in, like rain water???

    Rain water. Considering I live in Ireland, where it's nearly always raining, I'm desperate to stop the leak!

    Door seal or hole in floor?

    Around the door you have a rubber seal, could the water be leaking in from there???

    It's coming in the back of the footwell, dripping down from somewhere under the dash, not the door.

    Are you 100% sure this is not coolant??? Check your coolant level!

    coolant level is full, unfortunately. This thing is baffling me!
