Insane water leak 97 (interior)

[Macktasticfresh]

I need some serious help ive got a leak some where and I cant find it.
The seals on the door are fine
pretty sure all the plugs are in
the majority of the water is found under the passengers seat and where the back passager(passanges side) feet go.
Currently I have no passanger seat in, the carpet is up, the bak seat is out and im still trying to find this Freakin leak.(am I just blind?) Anyways any words of wisdom or suggestions help me out thanks

Hey just a guess. But it sounds like you have a leak in your heater core. If when you run the heater your front window fogs up and you seem to get a film on your window, have to turn the ac on to clear up your window you probably have a leak. Most cars the heater core is located on the passenger side of the car. smell for antifreeze.

if not that it could be a hair-line crack in one of the welds.. all depends on the majority of water, adn the weather it shows itself in..

OK, so the carpet is absolutely soaking and there seems to be some rust beside rear passenger seat, annnnd i guess where the shock is attached there is lots of water, but oh yes there is a but there was water at the bottom of the windsheild, another but, there is no water leaking from under the dash??? So if any one has any other ideas please make a post thanks !

so basicly what your saying is eveyrthing that is rubber has failed.. (the top part of the shock, the windshield and passanger door liners.. and rust on the passanger side.. depending on severity on that rust you couldhave a leak there to..
or... your roof is leaking.. what years this car?
you happen to have any pics of this car?

Well in my experiance with heater cores you never see it leak from under the dash. It just runs down under your carpet.

I'm having the same problem with my 98 Escort. Here's what I've found - Remove your passenger seat and plastic threshold pieces to allow you to lift the carpet up. I'll bet your leaking where the corrugated metal floorboards attach to one another. It looks as though it should have been caulked, but it probably wasn't.

After pulling the carpet back, wait until dark or have the car in your garage. Place a light under your vehicle, and I bet you'll see the light shining through your floor board. I fixed 3 spots in mine. I also have another leak behind the dash on the passenger side that I have not been able to track down. Good Luck.
