this isnt a huge biggy, but my passenger seat floor is always soaked, i cant figure out what keeps getting it wet. maybe its the fluid from the heater on the passenger side, maybe theres a leak in the windsheild. i dunno, but i'll give a thumbs up to anybody who gives me a really good answer.

First off you have to find out if it is antifreeze or water. If it is antifreeze, the heater core is most likely leaking. If it is water, check the A/C drain tube underneath the passenger side of the car for blockage. When you run the heater defrost, the A/C clutch cycles resulting in the condensation to form inside the evaporator core housing and the water needs to drain out the same way as when the A/C is running.
A good way to find out if the exterior gaskets are leaking is to dry the vehicle out and run it through a car wash. You should find the leak easily unless it is extremely small.
