Any ideas as to why after every rain or snow that I get puddles in the foot rest of the passenger side back seat and less in the front?
Just bought the car and spoke to guy on the phone at a parts place that said there maybe some drainage holes clogged from under the hood..... does it sound familiar? Where are these drainage devices if it does sound correct.
Any other ideas as to what it could be?
All responses appreciated.

I had exactly the SAME problem in the Exact same car a few years ago.. What happened was 1) lift up the rear carpet--and remove the rubber drain
plug so the water drains out. Under the battery tray--over the years, leaking battery acid had eaten a hole thru the firewall and allowed water to leak in. I fixed mine with clear marine Goop silicone--cost $2. You can check it out if this is the cause by opening the hood and placing a water hose in this area--make sure the area in the back seat is dry and then hose this area down good for about 5 minutes and if this is the culprit--water will soon start flowing under the seat into the passenger side area. Hope this helps--Mike
