Can anyone help me out?
I just went out to my car (a Corsa B SXi) and the passenger side carpet is literally saoked and is puddling. Now, I can't find any sign of a leak and I am wondering what it might be? Anyone any ideas and if so what can I do about the problem? Could it possibly be the heater matrix that has burst?
The only thing I can say hat I have touched in the car recently is that I had the headunit out to replace the fuse in the back of it the other day, but that is all.
Thanks in advance for any help?

If it's the heater matrix then your car will be low on coolent - if it is then you'll need to remove lots of interior parts to access it...

my first car (1.0 metro), had a leaky matrix. thought i'd risk a bottle of radweld first, and it worked a treat. job done in 5mins and £4.
calibra had a soaking carpet, but that was due to poor door/window sealing. frameless doors, so unlikely the same prob in a corsa.
i put a bottle of rad weld in my corsa to try and patch up a hole in my radiator, and it did nothing but leave a gooey mess everywhere, so i'm not such a big fan anymore. possibly worth trying that first i reckon though

heater matrix is an easy job in a corsa as said check your coolant level!
