    Hey guys.

    I have a bunch of rain where I'm at right now and this Tacoma I bought last month is showing a big water leak inside. Does anyone have any ideas as to where to point me in the right direction? Below is a photo of where the water is dripping from (circled in red).Screenshot 2024-02-05 at 5.11.41 PM.png


    Raining next few days so I wanna see to get it fixed before anything starts to rot.

    Below is the total water damage so far.

    Yeah.
    That will dry out, wouldn't really call it damage. Get some silicone caulk and go around that grommet around where it is pressed into the firewall and where the wires come through, both inside the cab and under the hood. Looks like someone ran a power cable for a radio or amp or some electronic doodad through the grommet and water found a path inside. Caulk should fix it.

    There really shouldn't be that much water there unless there's something very wrong with your under-the-hood chassis, or you're parked at a very steep incline
