Asked by Kacey Gilchrist
Over the past two months I've noticed a puddle of water on the driver's side floor of my 2003 Nissan X-Trail. I took notice of it, but the amount of water varies each week and I thought it had dried up. As of a couple of days ago, I noticed the driver's side floor and the back passenger's floor soaked in a puddle of water, also the back of my boot where my spare tire is has filled with water? We have had rain on and off but didn't think it would cause so much flooding. I do have a sunroof, which I thought could be the source of the problem, but as a student I have very limited funds and going to a mechanic is my last resort, so I was wondering if there was something/somewhere I should be looking to stop this leak?

22 Jul 2016From your description the leak sounds quite a severe one, but that means it should be reasonably easy to find. A couple of things you could try would be to drive it through a car wash and watch for water coming in, or you could have a friend hose the car while you sit inside. If you can't see water entering, check the various problem areas after the car has been hosed down to see if the leak has occurred while it has been hosed. It could be a case of trial and error until you can locate the source of the leak. If you think it could be the sunroof start there. You could also check the various seals for damage.
