Boot Leaking

EMM · Mar 2nd, 2010, 22:48

Hello all i have rather an odd problem. My boot appears to be leaking but i can't seem to locate the problem.

The two pipes that where running down into the boot where blocked but i have now cleaned them out.

But it still seems to be leaking. It's wet on both the left and right sides and between the struts. but only about a 2cms in.

It's a 1996 850 2.5 saloon. Has anyone else had this problem?

Cheers
Andy

when mine was leaking, not only were the pipes blocked, but one was not fitted correctly at the lower end, so fluid went down the pipes, but into the boot and not outside. If yours are ok, but fluid is still getting it, i suggest either the seal is not sealing correctly, or more likely, the boot is not fitting correctly, leaving a gap between the boot and the seal at both sides, where water is seeping through

Thought mine was leaking only to find that the rear washer pipe under the right hand side floor had split

I think i will get a replacement seal and go from their with it. It has only started to do it recently.

I have also removed the carpets as it might be just condensation rising now.

Cheers
