Inspection and Verification: Leaks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Interior trim removal will reveal the location of most leaks. Use spray chalk and hose if necessary.
  1. Remove trim or carpet in the general area of the leak.
  2. Road test or water-hose test the vehicle. Use leak check powder to help locate leak paths around door weatherstrips.
  3. Inspect for a dust pattern around the area in question. Inspect for water paths near and above the area in question.
  4. Some leaks can be located by placing bright light under the vehicle, removing any necessary trim or carpet and inspecting the interior of the body at joints and weld lines.
