Water Leak

[PDT1980]

I have been a proud owner of a 1995 Del Sol VTEC for over 4 years. The car has been amazing; fast, great fuel economy, easy to park and a lot of fun to drive. It has been worry-free for the time that I have owned it, except for the usuall expected maintenance.

 

Last fall I noticed that there was a water leak in an awkward location. I found the leak only because I actually hear water splashing around when I'm driving. The location of the water is between the trunk and the cockpit, where the rear window rolls down into. So far I have been pumping the water out with a Shop-Vac and a long hose.

 

If anyone else has had a similar problem or knows a solution/ source of the leak, please let me know

 

Thanks
