My Carport Is Leaking. If ice dams form on metal roof, the leaking may be at the seams 1 to 2 feet up, and you will have annoying dripping, but what is worse, is the possibility of earlier rusting. The metal is run lengthwise so therefore the water cannot drain off the sides.
If ice dams form on metal roof, the leaking may be at the seams 1 to 2 feet up, and you will have annoying dripping, but what is worse, is the possibility of earlier rusting. If it smells like antifreeze or has an oily feel, it may be coolant leaking from the heater core. Wipe 6 inches to either side of the joint between the carport roof and the wall with a wet cloth and detergent, and remove all grease and oil marks.
A leak, like a rear main seal leak, that is low on your engine will make a mess but won’t put any other components at risk.
Aluminum is a very good heat conductor (unlike wood) almost as good as copper (this is why they make heat sink with it). If you caught it in time, you can see water running down the wall and into your garage. Wipe 6 inches to either side of the joint between the carport roof and the wall with a wet cloth and detergent, and remove all grease and oil marks. With the oat paste made, set your springform on the bottom pan per usual and then seal the seam of the two pans with the paste.
