eds Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Since having the front end mended after a snow collision which involved replacing the entire front wing sections on both sides - water gathers (up to a pint) somewhere hidden above the near side front bulkhead outrigger. Water drains on driving away but maybe leaving some still which is bound to be trouble later. Where could this be collecting and do I need to redo the wings or drill a hole somewhere to allow the water to drain away? I did not fit the wings so am at a loss to know what is going on. Thanks as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eds Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 If I reduce the amount of water to half a pint do you think someone might know the answer?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wunntenn Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Scots git here - make it a 1/4 pint and its a deal! Sorry to say it but it sounds like you've got a glacier. Thats the good news. The bad news is that climate change is melting it, up inside the front end. I reckon loads of white icy stuff got rammed in during the collision and is slowly melting. It'll be really bad this week then gradually get less bad as December approaches, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wunntenn Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Seriously though...... I've had water gather in the gap between the outer wing and inner wing when it leaked in the plastic blanker in the wing top. Long shot though - is it water somehow getting into the air intake and coming out of the dump valve in the dip in the air intake plastic?

eds Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 It seems to be gathering lower than that, I will have to look more carefully at the air intake but I don't think that is the culprit. Thanks for trying to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Is it possible to drive off very very slowly with the an assistant sticking their head in places they shouldn't to get a closer look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
