My Lotus has 4 pinhole sized holes in the floor. When asked if I should plug them so water doesn't get in, I was told to leave them open so water can get OUT.

Bud, If it's not coolant or urine, then it sounds like a clogged condensation drain tube to me. Check for a rubber tube, approximating your A/C blower, under your car. Use a probe or a wire coathanger to clear the vent tube. Barry |

I do not know if it helps, but in my 348 i accidently hit the window washer switch and I guess one of the tubes was loose and the cleaning fluid would drip onto the carpets. |

Sounds like either air conditioner condensation dripping or a heater system leak. You may have to peel back the carpet on the passenger's footwell area and take a look. My TR has a panel with quick fasteners, same as for the fuse panel and battery box lid. Do have to run your air a lot? If nothing else try not using it for a few days and see if the condition lessens. If things improve then a drain hole is plugged or something like that. To dry the car out maybe leave the windows down on a hot day, or disconnect the battery, open the doors and have a fan blow through the car for a while. But you do have to find the source of the moisture first. Good Luck and keep us posted. |

Slow down on those corners, Bud. You're obviously scaring the piss out of your passenger. |

Bud -- The heater flow control valve is behind the passenger footrest panel -- can you tell if it's just water or engine coolant? |
