welcome to the board, you should find someone who can answer your questions here. Explain your problem with the leak and you''ll probably get an answer, or atleast pointed in the right direction.

When does it leak? Maybe you can ask this question in the Skylark forum and get more answers. I have a few ideas including a leaking heater core.

I am starting to think heater core, If it was only when the AC was on I''d say stopped up evaporator drain, which you might check just for giggles.

oh, ok I see now. I''m sure you''ve checked this but check the weather stripping around the door and windows make sure they seal tight, the other thing is the windshield seal, yeah, you''ll have to pull the windshield but thats a possibility.maybe a small amount of rust or a hole in the seal.Look all around the windshield, including the coners.
