Hello,

 I have noticed this week that my drivers side footwell only is becoming wet not big puddles just a bit wet, I've felt around the car and it only seems to be in the front drivers side but only the middle, it's dry around the peddles and the edges and by the seat the worst of it seems to be under the plasticky bit on the carpet just In front of the peddles has anyone had this before? If so I would appreciate any info given, thanks :)

Car has no sunroof and is 3door and done 84k

Thanks for the reply, I've felt around the leaver and it doesn't seem to be wet at all though? Where is the grommet located? Thanks

In the firewall kind if behind behind the coolant bottle.

It's also worth checking the pollen filter housing, that's on the passenger side underneath the scuttle panel.

I've just located the grommet for the cable, if the pollen filter housing was leaking wouldn't that make the passenger side wet to?
