My 04-TL has only 5100KM on it, purchased at June-04, Recently I have found a wet spot approx. 6 inch in diameter at the middle of the floor carpet on the driver side after I took the car gone through touchless car washed at Esso gas station. I'm not sure where the leakage is.
Due to the cold weather in Edmonton, Alberta Canada the Acura dealer suggested me to come back in the spring for them to check it out.
Any folks has the same problem? Much appreciate for your responses.

do you have your climate control set on Auto? it could be water condensation from the A/C unit

It was winter when I discovered the leakage.

Better hope it is not coolant. I heater core is on the right side, but could migrate.

Today, I was washing the all-weather mats and noticed wet spots under passanger side both rear and front mostly towards the right side. There was water seeping through the carpet.

I washed the car today using the high-pressure water stream (one of those do-it -yourself places) and I had the auto climate on for about 10 minutes to warm up the car. I do not use A/C in the winter oterwise at all, only to defog ocassionally. Yes, my sun roof and all windows were closed.

I searched the forum and found several possible causes for this - a/c evaporater overflowing, bad door seals, welding cracks, leaking brake line (?) I am concerned about it because whatever the reason is, there should be no water under the rubber floor mats.

Could the A/C cause this after running it for 10 minutes? If not, then I am inclined towards the car wash causing this or ... getting the water through a broken weld from under the car.

Gosh, this is annoying. Guys, in your experience, do you only get loaners from a place where you bought the car? My closest dealer is 75 miles and the one I bought the car from is 150 miles ... Can I expect a loaner if I bring the car to the closer dealer?

i think you should be able to get a loaner, you can service your car at any acura dealers. some dealers dont like that, but they cant do much about it.

It could be your sunroof. On my other car, the drain hose (which connects to the sunroof), was plugged. It caused water to back up into the sunroof rail, and drip onto the headliner, where it ran down to the side of the car, to the door trim, then down onto the carpet.

In my case, if you accelerate hard, the water would run and splash onto the rear window, or if you brake hard, onto the front windshield.

Wow, are they serious? I've never heard of a leak caused by a faulty seam in the floor boards. Personally, I think the dealer that determined that didn't know what they were doing.
