Water from Frame Rails

[markd248]

I was underneath my car looking for where water was coming into my driver's footwell and found these two holes on the driver's side frame rail. I know that they are there normally, I was just wondering if people are used to seeing water drip from them. It wasn't a constant stream, more a seeping.

Also, anybody know a good way to anti-rust coat the frame rails? Some of the coating is gone from contact with my jack stands.

Thanks in advance

my windscreen washer reservoir leaked and water came from the same area. if you park on a hill it happens more

Truck bed-liner coating works best, but it is expensive for such a small area. Maybe a can of rubberized undercoating would be sufficient.

I might try spraying a homemade oil based spray mix containing some ATF fluid into the holes. It would probably at a minimum slow down any corrosion already started.
