Ford Escort Leaking - Help!

<< < (2/2)

Evilgoat:
I know, same here.

Not sure then, My brothers Mk 5 1/2 had the same, I dont think we ever solved it. His Mk6 did it and was the sunroof drain.

SWEETY:
I used to get the job of fixing water leaks in the garage :evil: I've had mk4's & a mk5 escort which is the same as mk6 & mk7. The vents you mentioned behind the bumper sometimes let in spray, easy way take bumper off, i'm sure the vents are screwed in place, remove them & cleen them up & the panel, put some silicone or if you can get it drip check on the flanges & once fitted around the edges.
Have a close look at the boot hinges for pin holes in the sealer as thes often let in water & check the weld in this area for the same as they tend to leak aswell :roll:
Hope this helps is not i'll have to have a bit more of a think on it :D

Cheers for all your help on this. I think I have narrowed it down to an air vent. However, I have had no time to check properly and fix it so will report back when I have!

Range Rover Blues:
I can't quite picture the vents in the boot you mention but I suspect they are there to let air circulate throught he car when the blower is on, they should be designed to not allow air to enter from outside, this can happen in odd circumstances like having the sunroof tilted and all the vents shut.  But you don't have a sunroof.....

It's possible they are leaking a bit, it's also quite lilkey that you are seeing the condesnation form a leak almost anywhere in the car.
