    Various issue with my Si 03, please I need help!

    Hello:
    I am ready to take my car to the dealer tomorrow for the 10000 miles oil change even though I don't have all the miles I only have 9400. I hope this is ok.
    I noticed water in my trunk, I did search/read every post about leaks and it looks like no one has had any good luck finding the real problem.
    My trunk isn't full of water but it does have a little bit which worries me a bit since I used to drive with t-top and you can imaging when it rained!!!:(
    The other thing is the crunchy sound in the clutch, I've also read a lot about it here at the forum and I have to say people had said many possible reasons for the problem but again nothing clear. I will definitely mention tomorrow at the dealer about the sound, not sure how to explain though.
    The last thing is the sound the engine makes when you start it up in the mornings, when is cold, it sounds like is stuck in the engine not sure what causes this.

    I really would like to hear some opinions about these issues I mentioned! Please!!!!!
    Take care

    no clue about the leaking, but the crunching clutch.. could just need to be relubed. Ask them about it at the dealership. They relubed mine for free.

    Only thing I can think of is if you look under your headliner (which I have done) there are all kinda of tubes for draining and for the rear windows washer fluid. Maybe something is wrong with the tubes that is causing the leak.
    clutch i am not sure.

    i thought someone who had found water in their spare tire compartment said it was from an improperly sealed tail light ... or a hole in the tail light, or something along those lines.

    that sounds about right to me. I seem to recall it being the seal around the taillight too.
