The drivers football is soaked with water, I've sucked it all up with Hoover. I can feel it soaked again tonight.

Hello,

This is usually a sign that your vehicle's heater core has failed and is leaking. Here is a link below explaining what is going on and how to fix it. Be prepared to have a day set aside to do this as it can be time consuming.

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,

The water level where you fill the radiator up doesn't seem to be dropping though.

Hello again,

Okay, so I would recommend that you check on the firewall where the carpet is wet and see if a wiring harness grommet has worked it's way loose leaving an opening for spray from the road to enter. Also, you might want to pull the carpet back where it's wet and see if a drain plug in the floor board has failed or worked itself loose, again, leaving a hole where water can enter the vehicle. Please get back to us with what you find out please. We can go from there, if needed.

Thanks,
Alex
