yes I did a hose test last week and there is a small drip from the steering column. Has to be from north of that. After getting the alternator replaced, a new battery, and replacing the a/c drain tube, I have to now attack the source of the leak. I figure the easiest is the drains below the window. If not those, then the window seals are next.
Thanks
Chuck

I use one of those flexible tools that has a little claw on the bottom for picking up dropped bolts and washers, etc. If you keep the claw closed it functions as a nice drain cleaner (when used like a pipe cleaner). It is just the right length and diameter and is flexible enough to follow the drain channel. Sometimes have used the claw to extract a small branch or other piece of debris that won't push through.
