so me and my dad get one side of the DA up on the curb and jack up the other side so we can get under the car and do an oil change. And i then i notice some water leaking from under the car somewhere near the right rear wheel and where the muffler makes a turn. At first i think nothing of it. But then a realize, its alot of water and it hasn't rained in like 2 days or so. And on top of that, the water stays on the cement, it doesn't get absorbed like oil and it doesn't evaporate like water, its been 2 freaking weeks and its still in the street @_@. Do you guys think this weird leak is from the drainage for sunroof? It only happens when my car gets tilted it seems. If the sunroof drains are clogged how can i unclog them?

Test your drains. Open the moon roof. Using a funnel for accuracy pour some water into each drain opening in sequence. Watch out for it backing up and overflowing the drain hole if the tube is plugged. If water comes out of the drains and pools under the car, the drains are not blocked. I have never heard of a guaranteed way to clear out the tubes. One possibility is VERY LOW PRESSURE AIR. Make an adapter and use something like a can of Dust-Off. I wouldn't even think about using a compressor.If you try this let us know whether it works or blows something up.

It's probably laying under your carpet in the rear, you need to pull your right rear plastic off. Behind there you'll see your sunroof drain tube. It is most likely disconnected. Re-connect it and I put some tape around it to hold it together. This should fix your problem. If that tube is connected it might be your tail light gaskets but it's most likely the drain tube.
