Ok I think I may have fixed it this time.

I definitly need to replace the front windshield seal as its hard as a rock, although no leaks on the floor inside yet. I pulled both vent covers and removed the center metal cowl piece. right in the center at the base of the windshield was some rust bubbles, so that might have possibly been my source of the leak. I can see now that the water could have been sitting in that part under the wiper motor and when on a left turn, would dump it directly on top of the blower motor, as that flat area will allow water to collect and not drain out anywhere. It did seem like a small area to have that much water collect but I am optimistic about it. I used some mb clear sealant under the rock hard window gasket and pushed the cowl piece back in place. I'll spray the car down again after its dry and see if I still get any water inside my heater box.

Also greased up the wiper linkage, that stuff looked horrible. so nice and quiet now!
