Merry Christmas Eve everyone,
Before I get into the details, vehicle is 2006 Outback 2.5i (NO SUNROOF) with 73k miles and it is bone stock.
A few days ago I decided to run my wife's Outback through the car wash after driving on the salted roads from a recent snow we had. At that time I did not notice any issues or problems.
Flash forward to today I was driving her to her doctors appointment when I noticed a water stain on the drivers side A pillar. The water stain starts about a third of the way down the A pillar and looks like it stretches all the way down to where the fabric meets the dashboard. There is no evidence of water anywhere above that. I'm not sure where the leak is coming from and am curious if anyone has run into a similar situation and what the fix was to remedy the problem? I have searched and noticed a few people that have had issues with the drain line for the sunroof plugging, but as noted above we do not have a sunroof. Also, if it helps I did not notice any water stains or dampness in the footwell.
Any ideas on what to look for or ideas for a possible fix is appreciated. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the holidays.
