I doubt the cylinder wall would be leaking coolant. More likely the head gasket is bad or the head is cracked. When the engine is warmed up and running, a white sweet smelling smoke will come out of the exhaust. The white smoke is a tell-tale sign of an internal coolant leak.

Why is there water leaking on the passenger side floorboard of my 1994 ford tempo?

Would that be when it is raining ? If so you need to caulk around the vent in the fire wall area. If not from rain, then the heater core is leaking, and you will be losing coolant.


What can be the cause for your downstairs neighbor's bathroom ceiling leak and could it be your fault from your tub but there is no actual leak in your apartment anywhere and it's an old building?

For the ceiling to be damaged there is a leak! As to who's fault it is that is the question. It is determined by who is responsible in your apartment for the upkeep of what is leaking. Some of the causes could be a leaking tile wall or tub surround, water leaking where the valve or spout protrudes through the wall, a drain leaking, the shower valve or piping leaking, water spilling over the edge of the tub on the floor or even a roof or window leaking. I would recommend hiring a plumber to investigate and repair any leak that is occurring as most of the time it would be your responsibility for repair. A leak is not going to get any better on its own and water damage costs can be significant.

Can homeowners cover hidden water damage behind a wall caused by leaking water from siding outside?

It just depends on why your siding is leaking. If it's leaking as the result of a covered peril, fire, wind or hail damage, a tree fell on it, then it would be covered subject to your deductible. If the siding is just old, worn out or of poor workmanship then it is not covered, it would be an owners maintenance issue.
