My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

I have found the leak. Well, it is actually not a leak, lol, it is more something that is plugged up. It is the two slots in the cowl where the water is supposed to drain out. They were plugged, and it is full of gunk inside and other stuff that I have no proper name for. So, I am off to a hardware store to see if I can find a hose that is about an inch OD or slightly over and get into the holes where the rubber plugs are under the hood to clean it out. I have now flushed a little with water, and the water comes out where it is supposed to come out, and not down and out the vent doors under the dash. And I have a heater fan in the car trying to dry it up. Thankfully the rain in the morning went away and it is pretty nice here now, sun is out smiling at the car, and things looks better.

I wonder if it is something I can spray inside there to stop it from rusting, because I see it is some flaking going on. What is the name of that underbody stuff that never dries ?

Ok, I have been able to vacuum out some of the bad stuff inside the cowl. But, it is more, and it is hard to get to. So, I need a different approach to it. I have ordered an endoscope to get in there to see how it looks. And, I need a way to clean out bad stuff. I am going to Home Depot tomorrow and see if I can find a metal rod of some kind that I can tie a rag to and try to wash and clean up in there.

If it is badly pitted but not really holes, maybe a 3 step POR 15 treatment can cure it, anyone having good experience with that ?
