I had a serious leak which only accumulated in the driver's floor pan. First time I noticed it was after a long drive in the rain when I left the car I noticed a squishing sound - reached down and the floor mat on top of the heavy foam floor mat was soaked, the entire pan was full.

I had a heckuva time drying things out, that foam floor mat/pad holds literally gallons of water like a giant sponge. Hung it up by a corner for days and blotted the foam with towels repeatedly. But I digress.

I have yet to find the actual source of the leak, but I did find the main drain just behind the front wheel well was plugged. This drain has like an internal rubber snout with a small hole. I unplugged it and a lot of water drained out, and now water does not collect.

Down side is that it has plugged a couple times since then, and I still can not find what that drain is actually draining!

Rgds,
