[W126 Coupe] Passenger side water leak source??

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Mike:

One possibility is that the damn that separates the front trough that 
feed those 3 drains you've mentioned from the fresh air intake into the 
climate control blower has rusted through.  Where this is not your car, 
you'll need to ask if it's in the rust belt.  The best way to check on 
this possible leak is to remove the the wiper arms and the metal/plastic 
cover to the wiper linkage area.  About 20 minutes work tops.  Then you 
can visually inspect those corner drains, the center drain and the air 
intake metal wall under the passenger window area.
