Have you washed the engine recently? Unless the water is entering at the filter (as in washing), the only OTHER source would be the turbo (it's water cooled, right?), which may (Bill/Keith, chime in here please) have a bad seal, allowing water to spray as a hot mist into the intercooler piping along with the forced air. As the pipes are cooler than the hot mist, the mist could be condensing and pooling in the pipes. Jerry aka LGO In a message dated 4/25/2009 9:35:38 P.M.

Hello everyone, Has anyone found water in the intake system after a very hard rain? My car is a 93 with an old T25 based FM2 and the upgraded fm3 intake behind the drivers side headlight. The turbo side of the intake plumbing including the filter is dry but the intercooler to throttle body pipes fill up with a gallon or so of water. Its not coolant since there is no antifreeze in the water nor is the radiator low. I'm at a complete loss to explain where the water is coming from. I lost an engine to this two years ago. At the time I dismissed it as a fluke event but I had a repeat this morning. Luckily the engine didn't fire this time and the starter didn't have the torque to bend a rod... I hope. If anyone has any ideas for what to look for please let me know I'm completely stumped. Thanks in advance, Jesus Lara **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
