Default Water leak

Got a 99

every once in awhile i will get in and find water on the floor on the drivers side near the gas pedal. Also the carpet on the tunnel side is wet or damp. It is water.

The car is kept outside in the elements.

I beleive there are 3 rubber "udders" on the drivers side (and one on the passanger side) that can become clogged with debri. They are very close to the firewall under the cowl under the windshield wipers. I clipped the ends of mine off as do many others. I hate to be one of those guys that says to "do a search" but do a search for more acurate information. When the water cannot drain it will also ruin your windshield wiper motor.
