Why would my car be dripping water?

Coolant may leak from a car for a number of reasons. The most common are: radiator corrosion; a damaged coolant hose; or a water pump with a leaky gasket. In the vast majority of cases, water leaking from under a vehicle is usually condensation from the air conditioning system, or from the exhaust.

Why does my Mazda MX-5 have water leaking into the floor?

My 2007 Mazda MX-5 MIATA has water leaking into the passenger side floor. I brought it to Mazda a month ago today and they charged me $160.00+ and said it was a clogged drain because of leaves etc.?

What to use to stop water leaking from Miata?

I use a flexible net curtain rail (the bendy white things) with a test tube cleaning brush fitted to the end. Some from miata.net use a trombone cleaner (basically the same thing, a flexible rod with a small brush on the end). Either way, it should be pushed from the top down, then pulled out the bottom.

Where does the water come from in a Miata?

From these pans there is a hose that allows the water to drain through openings in the rear tire-wells. Unfortunately, not only water finds its way into the drains, but so do leaves, twigs, bugs and who know what else.
