does it smell like coolant? most of the time when theres a passenger side puddle in the floor your heater core has gone bad behind the glovebox. or is it only when it rains and doesnt smell like coolant?

Worst place to have a leak, it could be coming in from anywhere and running around in the dash before dripping in the floor. These leaks can be a real pita to track down. Best chance to find it is have some one sit in the car and run a hose over the cowl/windshield area starting at the bottom and working your way up until you get a leak and go from there

Had the same problem. Check this out. Does the puddle form when the a/c is off. Mine was the come out of the box under the dash. Someone broke the bottom lip off while doing a install. Silicone fixed it right up.

Check the grommet for the PCM wires. A lot of folks run stereo wires through there by just poking a hole through it. If they pulled the wire out or it ripped the seal, water could be following the wires right down into your floor board. I second the hose. Get in there with a flashlight and the underdash panel off. Have a buddy spray water on the car and look for the leak path.

Well to those who say T-Top's I had the same problem and my car is a hardtop......again I found a little plastic plug that wires came though under the pass side dash, the plug was not in the little hole allowing water from the wheel well and condensation from the AC to fill my passenger side of my car with water....My T-top car has never leaked...
