Wet by my clutch pedal

[sargey]

I cant understand why i have a wet patch by my clutch pedal on the mat, Its only where my foot stays before changing gears. Its no where else, just in that one spot.

can anyone shed some light on why this could be?

leak in your heater matrix? when mine exploded i got a very warm, wet left foot!!

has the car used any coolant (if not then the matrix is ruled out!!)

 

[sargey]

as in radiator coolant? i dont think so, its been level for ages

 

[porki]

yeah, radiator coolant... if it's not used any it's not that, and thinking about it it'd stink and there would more thank likely be steam if the matrix was playing silly buggers...

is it water or some other fluid... get down there and have a sniff!!

 

[sargey]

it seems like just water

did you go through water?
Have you checked your grommit for bonnet catch, thiat leads to drivers side footwell near the accelrator.

thats where my boost guage hose is, do you think ishould use some sealant to stop any water?

 

[Big_daddy]

Im also using that for my vacum line entry, but have no leak, have a look by the wipers, then remove the corner side panel just under the bonnet relase cable, check for dampness.

Try doing a quick search "driver side water" may get some more suggestion and possibilties of other entry points

Check and keep your eye on the brake fluid level
Its possible that the seal on the pedal could be leaking brake fluid past it
Brake fluid is a PITA to check BTW
Is your clutch pedal coming back to neutral position quickly and easily

 

[sargey]

yeh its fine, ive checked the hose entry and its not with the cable release its been drilled by the wiring loom on the rubber housing so ive sealed it with silicone just in case, wont find out til it rains next
