Water dripping on my foot while underway???

Last night I was running in pretty smoth conditions and felt a drop hit me in the foot. On closer inspection the carpet was wet like a few ounces had spilled there. I did not notice it until we were on the way back.The wife and kids were done and in a hurry to go home so I did not stop to look under the console to see where it was coming from. I thought that I would see a water trail showing me where it came from when I got home but everything was dry except the carpet.

It came from the area under my gauges. Could it be the speedo tube leaking? Also; the last few times out my gauges have fogged up out of nowhere. I guess this explains the fog

If you guy's don't know what it might be I guess I will wait until I take it out again and find it.

Oh, and my speedo has never worked, other than "measure hopes an wishes":D

Either a speedo or water pressure gauge hose leaking

Might be the speedometer itself, not necessarily the hose, that's leaking.

When I read the title of your post I was going to recommend a Urologist, :eek: but after further review yes it's a pickup hose/speedo problem. Mine got cracks a couple years ago. My speedo tubing was exactly the same as the drip pipe in my yard irrigation system. I lashed the new stuff to the end of the old stuff and pulled it in.

thanks for the replies. Maybe fixing this will make my speedo work again.
