Default Need Help... 2000 Camaro SS with Water on Passenger Floorboard.

First of all, this is a great site ! I've always loved the F-bodies and after a long wait I finally bought a 2000 Camaro SS with T-tops and 30,000 miles... However, I just ran into something that I need help with...

Recently I have been finding a wet spot on the passenger floorboard. I thought it might be a heater core, but thank God it's not coolent on the floorboard it's just water. The water seems to be coming from just under the glove-box, from the bottom of a black box that's bolted to the firewall. I checked my weather stripping and everything looks good. I had the A/C drain hole cleaned out, but after a good rain storm I'm still finding a wet spot . Does anyone have any idea of what else it could be ? Maybe a leaking windshield ?

Thanks for the Help,

My friends taurus had this probaly, dont know if this will help at all but the bottom of his windshield water would run in. I just took a hose and ran water down his windshield and bam it started leaking and bam located the leak. Worth a shot right?-Tim

I was going to say the A/C drain line but you got that already.The easiest way is let a hose run on the car and try to find the leak.

Default A/C Drain...

The A/C drain I was told is just a hole ? I thought it was some kind of a hose ? Maybe the guy who looked at it really didn't...

Thanks,

is it coming through the firewall? there's a hole in the firewall with a grommet that everyone uses to run wires through. it would be right around your pcm (under the hood) and from the inside, if you reach up behind the glovebox along the right, that's where the hole is.
