Recently found carpet was wet on the driver's side floor. Checked with area dealership and they attributed it to a clogged sunroof drain/channel; so they fixed it. Also asked them to test system for a leak for daughter is having to add antifreeze about every 3 weeks; pressure tested for 30 minutes and everything tested ok.

After attempting to clean the carpet after getting car back from dealership, we noticed that it didn't appear to just be damp. It smelled like antifreeze. Assuming the heater core is on the passenger side, any idea what would cause antifreeze to leak into the car on the driver's side floor?

The antifreeze could have flowed through the ductwork to the driver side but you definitely have a blown heater core if there's any freeze in the drivers compartment or inside the vehicle at all
