    I've an 03 Zafira and today I noticed that something was dripping slowly.

    It's on the front passenger side and is about a foot behind the tyre.

    I tasted it,,,,, sort of like water.....so I checked the water bottle - it
    seemed Ok tho.



    Any idea what passes water nearby.

    Thanks

    Dave :)

    Mine does this and has done for the 3 years I have had it. After it has
    rained or I have washed it water must collect somewhere in the bulkhead area
    and then slowly drain away. I have looked for a blocked drain hole and
    haven't found one so never bothered with it again.

    Thanks me140....that sort of gives me a bit hope....

    It pi**ed down for hours yesterday.......but it was still dripping about 24
    later........

    Is this the same for you......

    I've checked everything that I know of....mind you, thats not an awful
    lot,lol

    I was just worried incase something potentially dangerous was leaking.

    could it be from the door? I mean the door filling with water because of a
    blocked drain, then weeping out, down the sill ond drop?

    Nest time it does it, rapidly open/close the door (not to the point of
    latching) and listen for it 'glugging'

    It seems to come from under the sill rather than the door......but as soon
    as the wife returns with it tomorrow I will be out there trying to "slosh"
    the door.

    I'll let you know Mke.

    id be inclined to check the drain pipe of the sunroof [if you have one]
    the other one i find is the drain hole in the top of the wheel arch
    if that gets gets blocked it runs toward the door

    else as me140 says it could be going down the window and sitting in the door
    well

    Were you using the air conditioning? Quite a lot of water can drip from
    the condensor when it is working hard, especially when the air is hot
    and humid.

    I think it has stopped....

    All seems to be working fine tho.....

    I "sloshed" the door but nothing moving there.
