been meaning to post this for a few days now. i lost my phone in the z and couldnt find so after a stuggle and search i took the matts out and on the driver side i felt that carpet was damp. it wasnt soaking with water and there wasn't any order. but when i rubbed my hand into it did have a funky smell but ive never noticed it. i dont understand who what where when why and how its gotten damp. i havent spilt anything. it hasn't rained hard. but the sun was out when i noticed it. i did have the under carriage washed on the 20th of last month. im thinking maybe that is the reason. but from then till now still damp? i dont drive it when it rains and really only had it on the road mainly last week when the sun was strong enough for me to get my tan on! and the amount of heat that comes into the cabin surely if it did get through shouldnt it have dried up?

 

wonder if anyone else had or has this problem? i didnt notice any holes or cracks when the car was on the ramp. any ideas fells?

lol sorry to make it difficult heres a picture hope it helps. i think its leaking from the engine bay and its seeping into the cabin through some point in the fire wall.

 

Cheers for all the info fellas please see pic I took below would this have something to do with it ? Also noted that the dash has been taken off at some point.

 

 

 

Also noted around these pipes water residue when turns browny colour

This could be historical but noticed this also

 

Bugger just realised I'm on the wrong post apologise.

right seat out, carpet up. had a look and apart from finding a small amount of what looked like oil on the screw that hold the seat frame down i didn't see anything too concerning thankfully no rot or rust! yay! but as i looked at the firewall, the cover that sits over it at the bottom was damp which i believe is the where the fluid/water etc is coming from. the round rubber seal more to the right didn't have any corrosion or signs of liquids so it cant be coming from there didnt find any other cracks or holes .

Erm, is the small rubber grommet missing from in the small hole in the middle?

I only ask as mine has disappeared sometime and needs replacing.....
