Wet floor

When it rains out the floor on the passenger side gets flooded. Checked door jam and looked under dash, the rug was damp there but not soaked. Please what should i check next i thought heater core.

If it only happens when it rains, it isn't the heater core. Have a helper spray the windshield and around the doors while you sit inside and watch for leaks.

i already tried the water bottle also...it has a slight sweet smell. Directly under the dash is damp but the whole floor of the passenger side was flooded.

The sweet smell reminds me of coolant, but that wouldn't only happen when it rains.
