Drivers side floor - soaked

I have 2000 Tacoma pre-runner and had the same problem on the passenger
side. My dealer supplied a factory bulliten on the problem. They said it
could be either side. My truck was past the warrenty so they would not co
it on warrenty. There was a seam where the firewall panel attaches to the
cab side panel that was not sealed properly and after time could leak. The
trouble was that after the truck was assembled the welded on panel that
extends forward that the fender and the inner skirt are attached to makes
it impossible to get to the seam. the toyota repair was to take a slecific
sealer which I do not remember and pour it down the seam from the top and
you have to remove the fender. has been over 3 years and I have no leaks .
I would suggest you see your local dealer and ask them about this bulliten.
I hope this helps you. Good luck. Scott

It might help if you mentioned what vehicle you have. You might try to
locate the leaking using a garden hose. Have a helper get in the car to look
for water coming in while you run the hose over the car. Start down low on the
body and SLOWLY work your way up with the hose. When you can see water inside
try to locate the leak visually or by covering a smaller area with the hose.

Another trick you can try is to start the car and put the blower motor on
high and set to fresh air with all the doors and windows closed. Get a mixture
of soap and water and pour it over the area were you think the leak may be and
look for bubbles.

Next time it rains, check to see if there is water there before you drive.
It could be forcing it's way in from road spray through a very tiny hole in
the floor pan. Might not be a leak at all without some spray from your
tires.
