Wet Floor

I don't know where it coming from buy the floor on the driver's side of my car is quite wet. I soaked most of it up with paper towels the other day but I noticed it was soaked again today. It doesn't really have a coolant smell...maybe because I run more water than coolant. My car is running fine though, temperature wise. I also have my heater core re-routed so it can't be a leaky heater core. I just don't know where its coming from. Any ideas?

The brake master cylinder? Or what seal seam...I'm sorry if this is an easy question. Thanks for the answers though.

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
Check the black tar-like sealer around the driver side wiper post where it comes through the cowl...if that is cracked or missing, water runoff will drip through to the floor vent located above the drivers feet. The inlet for that vent is directly below the wiper post.

3M Drip-Check is what you'll need to replace the seal.
