Leaking? Help?
I'm not sure, but I think even though you're not using the heater, the water is still passing through it. So in essience, if the heater core is bad, then it would leak into your floorboard. Everytime I've seen that problem, it's been the heater core.
I'm not 100% , but according to my Hayne's manual (please don't let me get flamed for that) I think it is. It shows an illustration with the heater core being inside a box underneath the dash. If it is in fact your heater core, your whole dash assembly is going to have to come out.

This is recent, My front passenger floor is just soaked! There was a puddle this morning near the door. Im not sure what the cause of it is. It manages to stay soaked too. There is this little black box (maybe the condenser?) behind the glovebox that is moist but I dont know the culprit. Any ideas? Because my car smells like a foot because of all the mildew.[:@]

yeh thats the heater core... did you get a foot full of anti freeze? lol anyhow if your heater core went up your car would probably overheat too...
i took one out of my 87 jeep wrangler, it was a pain in the ***.
you have to take out the whole black box, to do it i had to take off the bottom part of my dash...
once you get the black box out, you gotta open it up and inside is a "mini-radiator" aka a heater core, so you just pull that out, but be careful not to get antifreeze all over the place... then once the new one's in, just reassemble the black box, then remount it in the dash, and make sure the heatercore pipes go thru the hole in the firewall
I have water in my floorboard too! But mine is in the drivers side floor board....
What do i look at to find where its coming from?
I spent all weekend with the shop vac and leave blower trying to dry it out.
Any help is appreciated.

If it's condensation from the A/C system, then you've got a problem with the drain tube. From under the car, you should be able to access the evaporator drain. It's a rubber tube, usually on the passenger side. If you GENTLY run a coat hanger wire up the tube (not too hard because you can poke a hole in the evaporator) you should be able to remove the restriction. Just leaves and junk that collects at the bottom.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
