Hi back at you
RIGHT HAND DRIVE! OK: I need to do some guesswork as I think this car is Toyota based and heater core in LEFT hand drive would be on right side but can't say if it was reversed for RIGHT hand drive.
*Follow heater hoses underhood as a clue.
* Smell the dampness and test it on a pure white paper towel. Antifreeze won't dry out much and plain water will if the case.
* If antifreeze heater core leaking is likely cause and needs replacement. If heater core is on left side of interior check hard, pressure test cooling system and make sure as many heater cores are difficult jobs. It's possible to leak on opposite side from the leak but not common to me? Snow generally doesn't melt down and get inside car but can't say for sure with every snow/ice condition.
* See if coolant/antifreeze level is low.
* Seems too new but if floor is rusted thru it could be outside water.
Check carefully to be sure of the source,
T
