Mystery water leak . . .

Can't seem to locate a leak I have. It's on the passenger side and the sloshing noise comes from the dash area.

Is there a void between the firewall and the passenger compartment that could be taking on water from a small leak?

Any other thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this issue? Big mystery that needs a solution.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the drain line from the evaporator is clogged. Water tends to gather there. If you look under the car on the passenger side near the firewall, you should see the drain. use a thin wire to upen it up again.

Is that the "hard plastic" black tube that come from the AC to dump condensation when running the AC or is it another drain.

All the drains with the black flaps have been cleared and I can't seem to rind any other small drain.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

ReZ, Yes there are two drains on the rear side of the sunroof gutter. these can often come loose get clogged or even crimped. Any of the three could cause your problem. You can poke something down the drain holes and see if it drains out( under the body in front of the rear wheel wells If I recall correctly.
Be carefull putting anything too rigid down the sunroof drain tube. One can push the tube itself down into the body..not fun! It is best to use heavy guage plastic wire like that found on a weed eater.
Good Luck
