Default Hmmm.... leakage in the driver carpet

Curious to see if anyone has any suggestions on this. I know that the AC drain pipes can get clogged and water will spill up over in either side carpet, but I don't think this is what's happening to me.

So it's raining out and i've got the defroster/AC running, so it's tough to tell what it is but I'm thinking it's the rain. My carpet along the side of the drivers foot well gets wet, and near the trunk/gas release piece on the floor it gets really wet and will soak up through the floor mat.

Now my car is lowered (slammed to be more precise) and I scrape on occassion but defintely not the actual body, just the side plastic running boards on bumps. I DID drive through about 6 or so inches of water awhile back and let it dry out (or what i thought was dry) and not sure if it's just coming back or if I've got an actual leak somewhere.


Anyone have any suggestions? Would the AC leak down in that area? Or if there is a leak, any way for me to see it easily?

Check the trunk area and back seat floor area. Sounds like water seeping in from the trunk or back door/window.

No sunroof, she's the DX in the sig, Moo, I think I can probably do that, any time in particular?

This past time wasn't near as bad as before, it's just a little damp so I threw down a towel to help soak it up.
