Does the water smell like coolant? Are you losing any coolant from your radiator/reservoir? If so, you have a heater core leaking. It's a large job to replace, requiring removal of the dash.
If it doesn't smell like coolant, it may be that the drain tube from your a/c evaporator is plugged, and condensation is leaking into the passenger compartment. Look for the drain tube on the engine side of the firewall, in front of the passenger and down low. It should be a rubber tube that has nothing connected to it.
Other possibilities are leaking sealant around the windshield, bad weatherstripping around the doors, and leaks from sunroof (if you have one).
Sounds like the classic heater core leak in blower housing. Check for damp carpeting or sound deading material at passenger foot area. A coolant pressure tester can be used to observe leakage with cooling system under pressure.
you have a heater core leak. If you start seeing coolant on the passenger side floor, that is another dead giveaway. This is not any easy replacement, you will have to remove the entire dashboard. Heater cores are pretty cheap though, the last one i bought was for a dodge, it was $35.00. I hope this helps.
It sounds like the heater core is
leaking engine coolant into the passengers side compartment.White mist could be steam from the hot coolant?
The Heater fan could be damaged, or it is a short. Fill your radiator and take
it to the shop or replace the heater core.
the oily substance you talk about is antifreeze, your heater core is damaged and leaking in the form of mist and going to your windshield you must replace your heater core in the dash generally behind the glove box.
a leaking heater core in the dash . does it smell sweet if it does it's antifreeze and steam that's sticky on the window is antifreeze mist coming from the fan blower / your heater core has sprung a leak im sorry to say.
a bad heater core will just leak. it could leak alot. do you ever smell antifreeze? check the coolant level. it can get pretty low before it will overheat. the thermostat should be ok but there could be corrosion. when you had the water pump replaced was the cooling system flushed? 2001, its probably due for a flush. what coolant does it take? (green or orange)
