yea the fresh air intake was a leak on mine. I appear bone dry after going through my car. Tested over and over, no water is coming in anywhere.

can someone give me a rough idea of where the drain holes under the car will be? i dried out my carpet over a few days last week. i ran through a water puddle this morning on the driver side and a small puddle has returned.

just look

i pulled back the carpet this morning and holy shiite its soaked under there! extremely.

so i go to pull the cowl again and couldnt get the wipers off this time for some reason, broke a screw driver in the process. then i noticed something odd. the harness pic'd below, not sure what it is, has a fairly large hole in the sealant around it. i tried to get a close up with my cell phone. just to left of the blurry cable is an illuminated area. that is the hole. could that be the source of the leak? i have to assume it should be sealed all the way around.

i also have 2 large "ghost" drips. they fell just to the left under the brake pedal but every thing is dry above it.

it rained last night and will more today. the carpet was pretty wet when i got in the car. i gotta get a wet vac or something before that water starts some mold or something. i did the water pouring test and didnt see anything as far as source of the water coming in.

I don't see the hole your speaking of in the pics.

the light is a little funky i know. its front left corner of the harness. the sealant has dried and i can put my index finger under the edge of the harness.the hole may be part of the problem but i think i found the main source, after about 2 hours. i pulled the cowl and the drain was plugged with junk. the black square shape sheets that i am assuming are seals of some sort appear to be the main source. the firewall sealant all the way down under the cowl drain is in bad shape too. a leak could be there too. i pulled the carpet, padding, and sound deadener it was miserable under there. i laid upside down and pulled the plastic panel behind the pedals back to find a long rusty area that goes all the way up the firewall. at least i think it does since i couldnt see all the way up. the amount of water is pretty significant when i did the water hose test. it just doesnt seem that rain would be that bad though. i am stumped as too what to do to fix it. i dont have the resources to break everything down and reseal. its only the driver side so the only thing i can think of is to brush some rubber coating or tar in the cowl trough seams and as far down the firewall in the engine bay as i can get. with any luck that might minimize it. the best i can tell, carpet is screwed.
