[T3] Heater channel leak

OK, so any fender corrosion?  General body state?  Drain hoses on air box blocked?  They discharge between the front bulkhead and fuel tank, and you can see the long hose coming down the right of the airbox inside the car, but you can't see the outlets without removing the tank.  The hoses are glued into the spigots on the bulkhead.  Pull the hose out and tip into a bucket to clear  any debris out.

Hope that helps.

No it’s usually parked rear down as my driveway is fairly steep it would puddle in front of the back seat.
