My guess would be if the car is a manual, then there is a crack where the clutch cable runs through the firewall, its a common problem for an AU. I believe the firewall flexes from the clutch being pushed in a out....

Its a common problem. Pedal box at the firewall apparently. The firewall is a little thin and the movement of the clutch weakens it and cracks it. Only manuals effected.

It would most probaly be a rubber grommet in the fire wall that has broken down over time had the same prob with my car just a 5 cent piece of rubber that seals around cables and wires going through the wall.

It's nothing silicon can't fix, but you have to find the source of the leak first!

I had the same thing with my manual xr6. Simply remove the drivers wiper and remove the plastic that is under it. if you get a light and flash it down there you will see 6 (maybe 8) spot weilds that tend to pull apart. I simply used some silicon and no more leaks!
