Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Emmalee, Have you checked the wetness to establish whether it's water or oily? The reason I ask is I noticed this happening to me sometime in February, 2009. I thought it was the Leaky Foot Syndrome but it turned out to be my brake master cylinder leaking (http://www.delica.ca/forum/a-visit-to-c ... -4814.html).

If it is water then I would run water from a hose above the windscreen corner above where you are finding the water and see where the water is coming in.

Falco- Good idea with the hose- the wetness is definitely water. I took the advice of some smart soul on here and checked the nozzles that spray your windscreen- the are indeed loose- and there is also a tiny crack in the seal for the the drivers side wiper as well-
now i'm looking for advice on what to use to seal these things.
anyone?
Also- i need a dry day for any kind of sealing right?

A dry day and silicone sealant. That's what I did on the rain gutters, windshield surround, nozzles, quarter panel and washer fluid reservoir. Unfortunately she was still leaking so I put in rubber mats. 8-)

I would use windshield urethane from an autoparts store...(works better than silicon)
