I have a weird puddle under my 1996 Cherokee, right behind the driver side rear tire, as far as I can tell its water, I've smelled it and have even tried tasting it because it through me off that much, I cannot find a source anywhere it happens every where I go.

 

Leak at window seal or fuel filler, is the quarter full of water?

 

I'll check the window seal tomorrow, don't think it's the fuel fuller dropped the tank about 2 weeks ago and everything looked good, and I'll check the QP tomorrow for water, I took a quick look and didn't see any but may have over looked it.

 

There is a n absorbant sack hiding in your rear quarter panels...get in there and yank them out...see if it stops

 

what's the best way to get it out? I haven't had my XJ very long and am not sure on how to get it. Out

 

Going from the inside. ..unscrew the panels and reach inside. ...also there a couple of drain plugs that you could pull out

 

Ok thank you very much. I will try that today and hopefully the problem stops

 

You may still have a small puddle after but at least your quarters won't be rusting away because of the trapped moisture

 

Found the problem, got into the QP and good news the bag isn't there, bad news, completely filled with mud, but I did find the rust hole that gets the mud in there

 

Hows the leak?

 

getting better
