My 1970 chevelle malibu (non-AC) is leaking from somewhere and I am pretty sure that it is leaking from under the dash. What are the possible seals that are going bad if water is coming from the underdash area and ending up right near the pedals?

Could be the kick panels...If so, they're probably full of junk (leaves, dirt, etc.). You can look under the car and poke around through the hole right under the cowl where the water should drain out. I was able to remove my kick panels and get a small tube attached to my shop vac and clean them out...they were VERY full of garbage. Then, just use some butyl tape and reseal the panel...

It's Possable that you have water leaking in from the bottom of the windshield. Try removing the trim and use water hose on the windshield and check under the dash for water.I found this out when blowing out the dash after sanding,I saw a little dust blow out from under the windshield...good luck. :cool: Ed
