Interior and Upholstery 2000 v6 passenger side leak? NEED help

[jamesjellyfish90]

i have a leak on my passenger side but cant find its location or how to fix it, i think its coming from ground up so it may be a hole in the bottom but its sticky and smells bad. when cleaned up its kind of brown.

Possible rust hole through the floor pan. Get underneath it with a Mirror if you cant have it on a lift and see what you can find. If you can snap some pictures so we can help better. Inside at the location where the brown is and underneath

i looked no rust, but there seems to be a possible missing gasket

heater core ?feel around heater box

 

[jamesjellyfish90]

i did that no leaks or anything and its at the back end of the front passenger side. so closer to the seat

 

[STEVE PATTON]

be sure because the next move is to pull seats&carpet hang out in there with a flashlight while someone runs water onit or drives you through puddles.

take a picture with your phone and head to the local pull a part and compare what is there. I have done this some when I get stumped. Sometimes the part that your missing is still intact on a car there. If its a gasket that is missing (Rubber) then you could grab that at the local parts store.

I has the same issue in a Grand Am and it was a rubber gasket that popped out of the floor pan. each time I went through the rain, the carpet got wet.

ill do that
