I am not sure where it is coming from, one poster said check the rear wiper
fluid which I did and its topped off no leak there.  the water seemed to be
rain water and not coolant but it might still be, because I noticed I had
coolant under the mattng  near the heater so my core or hose is leaking. I
intend to pull the rear core and re-purge the sytem, the factory way as soon
as I get some other stuff done.  The only other place it can get in is the
side window.  the rest of the body and roof are sealed.

I am looking for a set of 88 on rear quarter windows with the chrome - less
weather stripping to update my 87 Syncro with if anybody has a set cheap
please let me know.

When I do pull the windows out I will look and see if there is a leak, I am
thinking there is.
Also there should be a drain hole in the bottom of that thang.  jeez 3
inches of water rollng around in your body metal is great for rusting out
your rig.
