Here is a new one, I think. Garage was completely dry this morning except from a nice big puddle of water originating from below the driver side rear seat area. It definitely is water. The car was driven 13 miles yesterday in sunny weather. I did run the ac but I have never seen this much water gather from any vehicle. Also, I know the garage was dry 4 hours after parking it because I rode the bike last night and would have had to ridden through the area the water gathered when backing it out and riding it back in. In other words, whatever happened was random and happened long after the car was parked. I blew it out a bit with the leaf blower(after backing the car out and taking this pic) but you can still generally see the outline of where it had originally gathered. 2000 model with 3.9. Checked coolant, it's full. Power steering is full as well. I feel like it's a/c related but not sure. Going to jack it up later and see if there is a hose loose or with some type of hole in it. Obviously, something is going on. LOL.

Anyone seen this one before?????

It happens on my passenger side front door area sometimes. I wrote it off as 1 of the 4 drains coming from the moon roof.
 
Maybe one of your Sunroof drains were plugged any decided to let loose in your garage. I don't believe there would be that much water and how it would let loose without being jarred perplexes me, but you never know.

Do you own a Big Dog with a Big Bladder?
 
and I was sober as hell last night. LOL

Nevermind. Already answered. :)

My gen2 does that around the front wheels after it rains. It's like it takes it hours for the water to run down or something. No clue if it wasn't raining though.

And I'm not sure what would have water in it near the rear wheel to begin with. Just gas and brake lines back there as far as fluids go.

There's the battery and spare tire well in the trunk. Again, it would have to have been raining or the roads wet for that to have happened, and that's not what the OP implied.
 
no cracks in the garage floor is there? could it be coming from your foundation? just throwing ideas out there. I know my exhaust will do that on my drive way every once an awhile. (slanted driveway), especially with my expedition.... or maybe your neighbor is coming over and pissing on your floor.

anythings possible
 
I get it on the passenger front tire area.... usually sometime after I had the car washed, even hours or the next day later.

I get it within a day around both front tires. Can actually see the water stains on the garage floor paint and where the tire left tread imprints right in the middle. The car had to sit overnight for it to happen. Absolutely nothing at the rear though.
 
I get the front wheel drainaige at times but no idea on this one. The garage floor is solid without cracks. No water spots or cracks in the ceiling either. Maybe it was the sunroof tube taking a piss but that is alot of water. LOL
 
I don't know about the 1st Gens, but the 2nd Gen rear drain lines for the moon roof exit behind the rear bumper cover. If you laid the lines out flat, they'd probably run 2/3 the length of the car, and they're of a decent diameter, so there could be quite a bit of water in them, and spread out over the floor it'll look like a lot more water than is actually there...

Maybe....
