Ive sprung a leak!
Alright went out to my car this morning to go work on my brakes and theres at least a half inch of standing water on the drivers side..after using 4 towels i finally got it out, then set another towl under my floormats to take care of any other leakage. I was looking for water spots on the interior and i think its comin from the speaker cover..pretty much sure that speaker is blown..it was old anyways i dont care. so that means that the water is leaking in the door somehow. I found that the rectangular plastic molding on the exterior was loose on top. Could that be my problem? I think it got broke when someone tried to break into my car the 2nd time.
Oh well at least i got the brakes changed and i picked up some new rainx wipers..gotta change the oil, should i use heavier wt. to help the synchro in 3rd? and i guess i should probly either get a new air filter or at least clean the one i have.

Re: Ive sprung a leak!
I would check around the firewall area as well as the sealing on the front windshield...it sounds like it might be coming from the front or something.

Re: Ive sprung a leak!
I used Gm synchromesh after it was suggested on this forum. The stuff is AMAZING! It took a couple solid days of driving to really notice it, but my 3rd gear which used to crunch into 3rd rarely even puts up a fight anymore. Love the stuff, and I got it right at a GM dealership. Wasnt cheap though

Re: Ive sprung a leak!
Take the door panel off. There should be a plastic guard covering the entire inside of the door. if they rip, or are missing, alot of water will leak it. that would be the first place I would look.

Re: Ive sprung a leak!
Your Si draintubes for your sunroof run down that way. You might want to check to see if anything is messed up there? Just a thought.

Re: Ive sprung a leak!
The drain tubes run down to the back fenders, not saying it isnt those but unlikely.

Re: Ive sprung a leak!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they have drain tubes going forwards as well as backwards. But like you said, it might not be it. I'm just offering my
