Default Wet on passenger side

Every day recently I have lifted up the mat on the passenger side and it is really wet along the whole floor. I am not sure what it is coming from. There are no holes underneath although I know it is making my floor start to rust out. (Great. More rust to worry about) and it doesn't seem like it is coming down from my dash at all. It happen daily. Rain or shine.ac or not. Any tips on what to look out for?

You have cowl drains under the truck on both sides. Look behind the front wheels for a boxlike structure. Common for them to get plugged.

Also check the air evap. It's for the air conditioning, pull apart stuff under the dash (passenger side) and you'll find something that reminds you of what you put your air filter in. Blow that out and clean it. Then find your ac evap drain on your firewall on the engine side, blow that out. Fixed multiple wet floorboards with that fix. As leaves and other shit get onto your truck it ends up in that evaporator reservoir of your ac.

Note: I'm very drunk so I will fix this in the morning. Hopefully it makes sense though.

It could be the heater core as well. That said, I would with the heater knob to off, it couldnt leak unless the heater control valve was also bad. I could be wrong.

Prolly what GLH said. My thought of the heater core and 2006_FX4's thought of the air evap should only be possible if you turn the heater/A-C/Defrost on unless I misunderstand the system there.

Now is that that the same for the driver side? Bc my driver side floor stays wet most of the time when I lift my mat it will be wet and it starts to stink and then it will dry up and go away! It will happen about once a week!

Well since I've talked to you all I haven't really noticed it being wet . I left the floor mat off for days to let the source more easily come up. Nothing. Then I covered it up and haven't done much driving since being on vacation. And I have heard of heater control valve before. Didn't think it was that because usually it drips down the back of the dash? And it was wet right in the middle of the floor. If anyone has that issue for future reference, there are two coolant hoses going into the fire wall that connect up with it. A quick fix would be redirecting the flow by just connecting the hoses together.

Heater leaks usually show on the passenger side.
