The best way to track it down is to get in the car and have a friend spray it with a hose while you look for the leak.Tracy

Second option, turn the AC on full blast and look for any water dripping out of the heater core box. My car had the drain hole plugged by a leaf and caused my floors to get wet.
PS, if the water is brown or red (or green if you've done a coolant swap) clean it up and trade the car in as it's HIGH DOLLAR to get a heater core replaced."No, officer, that bottle is my onboard Halon system"Comment

You are exaggerating a little here!Originally posted by MN6WS6
Typically water from the heater core or A/C ends up on the passenger side.
If its the drivers side that is wet it is most likely rainwater.
Smell it and see if it has an odor. If it is good and odor free, go ahead and lick the carpet to see if it tastes sweet.Tracy

Perhaps an exaggeration, but if you go to the dealer and they quote 2-3 grand, don't say I didn't tell you so. The heater core is supposedly the hardest thing to remove on an f-body from everybody I've talked to. I know a couple of folks that have had their entire dash assembly removed from the car and STILL couldn't get the heater core out, so it must be a major PITA."No, officer, that bottle is my onboard Halon system"Comment

If a leaf were blocking the A/C drain the water would be on the passenger side.
So are you now an official carpet licker? It's good that you smelled the carpet before you licked it.

There is a rubber grommet below the PCM, where the wires come in the firewall. You can also see it from the inside of the car if you take the panel off the bottom of the dash. That’s where the water came in on my car.
