moisture from lower vent

Posted

For a couple months now I noticed moisture dripping from the floor vent on the passenger side of the tranny hump. right next to the " SRS" cover (I hope that makes sense)

The moisture is mixed with what I THINK is green paint from when I painted my truck about 4 years ago and got overspray into the exterior vent at the bottom of my windshield.

I know that sounds strange because it seems whatever paint was in there would have dried long ago. So I am open to suggestions for other explanations for the green stuff.

While I first thought the moisture was water, now Im not so sure because it feels somewhat oily. any thoughts?

Ill try to post a pic to help explain.

this is a '96 2500 totally stock

    Just rethinking a second. The drain is most likely plugged up. The Defrost setting will run the A/C compressor. It could be condensation. Check the drain for a plug first. &#1

yup, guilty. i have a garden hose attachment for my heater hoses.... should i remove my thermostat during the flush?

:rolleyes:

Personally... I pull the upper hose, thermostat, and then reinstall just the thermostat housing. Turn a garden hose on high and stick in the radiator. Then start the truck and allow it to pump till clear. I typically stab the throttle a few times to surge water through everything.
