Hey Navy... I was working in the Camp Pendleton area today at Oceanside Harbor Dr. If you saw an orange CalTrans truck and some person hoeing the heck outta the weeds, that would've been me.  :)

All you need is a new windshield seal? <-------------JEALOUS!!!!! >:( ;)
My theory on the Gas Tank of the Ford Pinto:
If it ain't fixed, don't break it!! :)

I know it's been a while, but I have a leak issue. I had my pinto restored frame up in 2004. Has had a leak since. Yesterday, finally got a new windshield and gasket installed. Stopped one leak that was dripping on the passenger floorboards, even to where the dash hits the post. Now, it has a smaller leak on both sides that seems to be coming from the firewall. I am thinking it's some sort of seal that was never installed correctly, or was installed but it was already wore out when installed. Due to it leaking right out of the shop I doubt it is rusty cowl issues. Does anyone have any advice on this? If there is a seal under the dash/along the firewall somewhere, that is where I'd like to start. Thanks in advance :)
 
Also, I purchased my new front windshield gasket (for my '71 Pinto) off ebay from http://myworld.ebay.com/weatherstrip-specialists. Excellent quality product if anyone needs one. I paid under $100 for it and the place that installed the windshield even commented at the quality of the gasket. Hope that info helps someone keep their pinto dry.

If its on the firewall it could be coming in around the heater motor or hoses, steering column, wire harness grommet or cables. There's a few potential leaky spots.

I need to take the time to check those areas. I suspect some grommets/gaskets were either never installed or installed in bad shape. Thanks for reading :) It's not a bad leak, but any leak at all sucks big time. 8)

Check the seam sealer around the pinch welds all along the cowl.  On my crusing wagon, it had dried and flaked off.  I re-seam sealed all along there and under the fenders and my small leaks went away.
