Hello all,
New here and was wondering if anyone from the collective may be able to shed some light on a coolant leak I have from a mysterious rubber grommet/fitting (I don't know how else to describe it) on the firewall on my 2008 9-3 2.0T. It's located somewhat towards the center of the wall but slightly offset to the passenger side The rubber grommet is leaking coolant out of it. Does anybody know what the correct name of this is and why it may be leaking? I'm attaching 2 photos one from underneath and one from the top. They are a little bit hard to see but I have red arrows drawn to where it is. At times it will leak quite a bit, ( i think when its hotter and I'm using the a/c but not 100% sure on that). Today it wasn't leaking as bad but was able to locate it and it is definitely leaking coolant. It seems to be some type of weep hole, it's just rubber with a hole in it and i can move it around with my finger a little bit.
Any insight and wisdom that could be passed along would be greatly appreciated. This photo is from the top looking down This photo is from underneath looking up
