Should be covered by warranty - suggest you take it to dealer and have them find the leak... if you want to find it yourself or help u find it youll need to give some more details:
Is the passenger side soaked more up front, under seat, behind seat? If you feel the carpet the bottom will be wet but are the sides wet - if so WHERE? If you have a leak from the top it is most likely coming down the side pilars and the carpet will be wet near and around the pilars, if its coming from door then door sill should be wet, etc...
Once you help narrow where the water is getting in Im sure people will help on how to fix...
I still think dealer is your best bet...

maybe you could be a little more descriptive in the smell, you aren't implying it actually smells like feces do you?
I had a leak in mine, turned out it was the heater core, which was pretty obvious once I touched it. I did notice a smell, but it was only afterwards I recognised it as antifreeze.
I also found a small amount of water on drivers side after a wash, next time I was more careful in directing spray, it has never appeared again.

Guys, I have to continue this thread as I have the same problem. Passenger side carpet damp and carpet smells like mold. Open the glove box and it really smells like mold! In fact, the whole garage smells like mold after my car is parked for overnight - remove the car and the smell goes away. Took it to the dealer and they say no leaks can be found and the ac drain plugs are not clogged. WHAT CAN THIS BE? I know some may start cracking jokes but I can't drive the car as I am highly allergic to mold, and this is my daily driver. Any other ideas as to where the problem can be, and how I can treat the mold smell?

How do I check this myself ? (as my local dealer is just saying everything is fine, totally ignoring the fact that the car smells like s--t, sorry mold, but to me the same, and keeps telling me to come pick up the car they can't find anything)
