Why is the passenger footwell in my car wet?
It’s usually located just behind the dashboard on the passenger’s side. If the evaporator drain gets clogged with leaves, litter or other road debris, the condensation will have nowhere to go and will begin leaking into the cabin — collecting in a puddle on the passenger’s side.
How do you get water out of a car’s footwell?
If you know someone with a dehumidifier, and a garage, you could try just leaving the car in the garage with the dehumidifier running (inside the car) for some hours. That should get rid of a fair amount. You can also soak up water from the carpet with a sponge or similar if there’s an actual puddle.
Why is my floorboard wet drivers side?
Water present on the floorboard is usually caused by one of two things. Water is circulated into the passenger compartment through the heater core. The heater core is heated by the engine coolant. If this hose becomes restricted, the water that condenses on the evaporator core will leak into the passenger compartment.
Can coolant leak inside car?
When you turn on the heat inside your car, air blows over the heater core, is warmed and comes into the cabin. Coolant/antifreeze leaking out through the heater core means that the overall coolant level in the system will be low and the engine is in danger of overheating – the most common cause of mechanical breakdown.

What is the best way to dry out a wet car?
Start by positioning a fan, two if possible, so that it blows across the car’s floors and seats from one side to the other. A shop fan is perfect for this. Keep the car’s doors open and leave the fans running for at least a day inside your garage. This should thoroughly dry out any remaining moisture.
Why does my car leak coolant when I turn it off?
If the radiator is cracked or is damaged, this can often be the source of a coolant leak, especially when the car is turned off. If there is a small crack or hole in one of the radiator fins, or where feeder hoses join the radiator, a small amount of coolant may escape when the engine is running.
