Can anybody help, i have just bought a 98 uk impreza and it has a water leak.
I am getting water in the drivers side front and rear foot wells and i cant figure out where its coming in. it comes in when the car is stationary and when driving.

Cheers

it sounds like heater matrix to me

No, not heater matrix bud.
It's fresh water, so looks more like rain has got in, but don't know where. Seems to be in the middle of each foot well on drivers side.

Any other thought where it would come in?

Thanks

I have the same, but in the passanger side, looked up the side of the dash and can see some corrosion so think its coming from behind there... somewhere.......

Any ideas?

I've just had massive problems with water ingress, and it turned out to be coming in under the rear windscreen seal. I found it when I put an A4 pad on the parcel shelf, and it ended up soaked Until then, I'd put it down to condensation, which was ALWAYS present on windows, especially after warm days and cold nights

It had soaked the rear seats, rear parcel shelf and got into the boot, filling the side where the jack and tools are kept, and the wheel well.

I've stripped the lot out, dried everything I could by taking it into the house, had the rear screen removed and resealed, and ran a dehumidifier in the car overnight for three nights running.
It SEEMS to have cured it.........
