Default Water leak from weep holes!

Can someone tell me where the water is coming from on both sides of the transmission from the body? It is leaking from rubber weep holes. How do you tell if you heater core is bad?

Thanks!

These are the two drains for the HVAC. If the AC has been running, even when in defrost mode, condesate water is produced and leaks to the ground. A good thing, some get clogged, slosh around, smell like moldy yuck. Especially when you poke it and get a shower. You can rub them with a stick to stay at a safe distance.

If the heater core was leaking, that drip would smell/taste like antifreeze. Antifreeze today is bitter to keep animals from lapping it up.

And your coolant levelk would be dropping. You should keep an eye on coolant level, on that weekly under hood fluid check.

BTW what kinda dog?

Haha!! Took me a minute to figure out about the dog comment. It was my password when I was a student at UGA.

THanks for the help. I assumed it was weep holes due to the fact it wasn't coolant. It does smell like coolant inside the vehicle but no coolant level change. Just put new heads on it a month ago. I'll keep a check on the coolant level..

I lived in Athens while SWMBO got a couple of grad degrees, we cruised down Lumpkin and they threw them in the sunroof. Her tag on the 84 CRX was "APHD2B". When we moved near Clemson no one would work on the car. UGA actually lives in Savannah, local hero, damn good dawg.
