Alright on sat while i was driving back from queen i heard a noise and all of a sudden my Alternator belt shredded and air pump belts came off. I pulled into a car wash, cut the car off and repaired the belts. My car temp went up a little but once i put the belts back on and refilled the coolant and test drove it, it stayed at normal operating temperatures.

On sunday there was a heavy storm and i drove my car for about an hour [Car is not overheating at all] got to my GF place and spent the night. On monday when i was heading back home i notice a splash was water coming in from the passenger side [Not coolant, H20]

Also the entire ride i smelt something weird like somethings burning or heating up.

I don't have much of an idea of what it is and hoping is has nothing to do with the engine. Can anyone shed sum light on this for me?

 

Do you have A/c in the car? and if so were you using it prior to seeing/smelling this stuff?

 

also is this a Vert or a Coupe? and does it have the moon/sun roof or a solid roof?

 

Have you visually inspected ANYTHING under the hood yet?

 

Yes i have an AC in the car and it's a coupe no sun roof.

 

As far as i can tell i see no coolant leaks or oil leaking out of anything

 

Nothing seems out of wack

 

Yes i was kinda using is for a moment but i smelt it the entire trip back

 

Well if you have A/C and you have been using it lately then there is the evaporator box behind your dash that could be leaking. when you run the A/C the Evaporator creates condensation(h2o) and that drains out of the evaporator box from a drain that goes out of the fire wall. If the drain is clogged then it will back up till it starts leaking into the passenger side of the car from behind the dash, which is also why it could smell funny. Because stuff could be sitting in stagnant water in that evaporator box.

 

Is there a way for me to clear it?

 

you could try poking something up the drain on the firewall side and see if water comes out, Also for ***** and giggles, I dont know if these cars have door drains, check the underside of the passenger door and see if there are water drain holes on there they could also be clogged.

the drain just looks like a rubber hose coming out of the firewall and pointed down. just follow the A/C lines to the firewall shouldnt be to far from them.

just use a Q-tip or something sturdy yet flexable, just dont poke to hard, your evaporator is in there

 

Ive seen something like that for my hatch ill look around for it

 

good luck =]

hope this helps

 

You can disconnect the evaporator hose and either remove it from the firewall and clean it out if need be or blow some compressed air through the hose so you don't have to pull it from the firewall. If you remove it you can replace it by feeding the grommet into the firewall hole from the engine bay side and feed the metal firewall lip into the grommet and then gradually rotate the grommet and the metal firewall lip will feed into the grommet as it is rotated and before you know it the grommet housing the drain hose is locked back into place.

 

the burnt smell could be pieces of rubber from the belt.That stuff can fly.
Have you check to see that **** hasn't flown up onto the manifold,exhaust?.
