Brand new owner of a '79 T2 here.
After the car's first 50-mile run, I happened to notice two new wet spots in the passenger footwell; a large one under the dash about 1/3 of the way in from the outside wall, and another smaller one about 1/3 of the way in from the centre tunnel.
The inner one was dripping from the out outlet under the dash. I assume it is water dripping off the evaporator. Looking at the evaporator box on the engine compartment firewall, there appears to be a hose coming out of the centre-bottom of it. Is this the drain? Is it likely blocked, or are there other common faults which would cause this?
Is the other leak farther out also likely from the evaporator? I couldn't trace it's origin (it was near where the heater pipes come through the firewall, but they were insulated and didn't appear wet.
Thanks,
