On my 1999 Sahara it was coming in from the fresh air vent and also behind the battery is the housing for the air intake fan, the seal at the bottom was leaking water in through the firewall and passenger floor. $6 black all weather silicone and I'm back in the water w/out leaks. For the air intake vent remove the cowl ( where the wiper motor is located and remove the air cover, you can replace the seal, I just made my own gasket with the silicone, reinstalled and resealed. For the fan housing I had to remove the battery and sealed the exposed seams between the plastic housing and metal firewall the original seal became porous and water would just leak in. Cost $6 and about 2hr of work. When removing the battery I found it easier to lift one end and insert a rope make a handle around the 4 sides to pull it up easier.

If it is water it is probably the condensation drain plugged up with crud. If it is engine coolant it is probably the heater core leaking.

If it's just plain water leaving a little puddle under your vehicle it would be condensation from your air conditioning if it has been running.


Why would the rear air conditioning leak in a Chevy Suburban?

If you mean "Why would the rear A/C be leaking water?" then the answer is condensation. There is a plastic catch pan under the rear A/C evaperator that all of the condensing water is supposed to be caught in then funneled out of the cab through a hose that runs inside the trim of the back pillar, to be dumped on the ground under the rear wheel. If there is a crack in the catch pan, or a clog in the hose, the result will be brackish water leaking into the interior. If you mean "Why would the rear A/C be leaking refrigerant" then the answer is a broken refrigerant line in the rear A/C unit.

Why would rain leak into car from under passenger side of dash?

It can be one of 3 things. My first guess would be a leaking heater core considering the area where it is leaking. Are you sure this is water and not coolant. If it tastes sweet or is slick to the touch, it is coolant and you have a leaking heater core that must be replaced. Secondly it can be the windshield seal that is leaking. And 3rd it may be that the drain holes below the windshield cowl are stopped up allowing water to enter the passenger compartment.
