Wow!
Thanks for that Ganz, thanks for that Vroom I need to try and have a think about this- I hadn't considered bonnet-hinge drain-to-engine-bay points as 'drain holes' as such! Wow- I thought those points just rolled off into the engine bay. Of course! This could be the magic biscuit. I need to have a look into this. It'll take me a few moments to work out how to 'see' your picture Vroom! Once you get into these macro details, I find I need some little detail to give context. I was up at my Alfa specialist yesterday, to give 'em a Xmas box-of-biscuits, and to get a look under the bonnet of GTV 916 which was apparently partially stripped out, to see if I could see this lower bulkhead detail. I'll include a picture later Hangon Vroom- I can see it now; the OS engine mount and fuel line- is THAT a rubber pipe going down there at the back? Is that the drain point?

I should have circled it, but yeah that's the drain pipe running down the centre of the picture. It has a plastic clip on it holding it to the bulkhead.

well,
turns out this isn't over, after all. The car has sat under a cover for a few days, in heavy rain. The cover has a tax-disc sized hole over the NS lower windscreen to show a permit under the glass. This hole must have been enough, and was in the right place, to allow the leak point to be wet again. As such, after a few days under wraps, I had more water in the car. I tried my super-£15-eBay inspection camera down that hole / drain point at the NS bonnet hinge, under the rubber-bung; but it came out on the NS road wheel! Something is going on, in the most inaccessible part of the car; behind the dash / sound deadening in the engine bay. This post has been edited by dante giacosa: 24th January 2020 13:47 |

Windscreen not sealed properly? Maybe a leak somewhere behind the scuttle trim? I had a small hole on the nearside underneath the wiper arm linkage where a grommet allows the wiring in from the engine bay through the bulkhead to where the fuse panel under the steering wheel is.

DID YOU now, Vroom??!! Thankyou for that- significant food for thought!! |

You can just see the small rust hole below the grommet where a tube comes out. May actually be the washer pipe rather than wiring. It was over 2 years ago so can't quite remember - long since fixed. Just realised it was offside not kerbside of car. This post has been edited by VROOM: 25th January 2020 20:03 |
