Leak

[Lee2525]

Hi I've not used the car for a few weeks come out to it this morning to give it a clean and notice my carpet under passenger front chair all the way to the boot is soaked. I've taken it apart slightly and come across this, any ideas how to fix? Thanks

Is it cracked

Is it cracked

Doesn't look it could it be the rear damper

Weird, is it just oil?

The shock mount looks cracked and could be getting water ingress from the spray of the road🤔

I'll have a proper look later see if it is cracked but that does make sense just seems a awful amount of water from just that

Pop the wheel off and get a hose in the arch spraying that location and check if above is the case

Thank you so much for the advice I'll check when I'm back home. Are they easy to fit

Road spray would suprise you.
I remember the days of ridding quads how high the water goes and how wet you get on roads

No worries.
It will require welding if replacement is needed. But and I emphasize but it just could be the sealant has gone brittle and would only require a good clean and resealed

Instant gasket works well with a good coat of underseal
