So I went out to my car on my break just a few minutes ago to smoke and noticed that there was some water under my drivers side front wheel and it was dripping slowly from the back of the inner fender well. I didn't think anything of it since I went through the carwash this morning. As I was closing the drivers side door, the sunlight hit it just right and I noticed the water had a green tint to it. Upon further inspection, there is water and anti freeze dripping from between the inner fender well and the body and the side closet to the door jam. For giggles I walked to the passenger side of the car and I'll be danged. Same thing. On the back side of both inner fender well and the body, there is water and anti-freeze dripping from either side and it's wet on both sides up between the inner fender well and the body. Why??? :confused::confused::confused:
 
...because it's being blown back there by the fan??????? Check the weep hole at the bottom of water pump.

It looked like it could be damp around the bottom of the water pump, but how in the world did it get from there to behind the inner fender well?
 
slow leak in heater core? dont know if the mark's had a drain tube routing outside the cab but it may b clog'd and found its way there.... could b that its a pin sized hole that leaks upon start and closes when at operating temp.... most older cars didnt have the routing tube so it was easy to tell when your heater core was goin bad, just have to pull the carpet back from the fire wall, but beings its a mark viii, they may have redesigned the box and added the drain tube... just puttin it out there.......
 
Most likely you have some sort of leak under the intake OR at the back of the intake(heater hose) and you're seeing it leak down both sides of the transmission to either side of the car. Get in there with a flash light/mirror and check it out.
