Default I have a bad bad leak. Help please!

I got into my car today after it had been snowing this last week and found that the whole drivers side floor of my car is completely soaked! Its a 93 si hatch, so it has the sunroof which was where i first looked but the roof seems to be dry.. i can see NO visible leaks.

I think that maybe heater could be letting it in?? i don't know exactly how that system works but it almost smells like it has had water in it when i turn on the vents..

To make things worse.. I can't keep this in a garage! Its winter and i live in utah. It snows often. Please give me some info before i'm driving a fish tank!

^^^ - Well he was asking where it could be leaking from.

heater core.

On the fire wall, beneath the IM, there are two hoses that go into the heater core. Disconnect them and plug them up somehow. Start the car and see if the leak still persists. If the leak goes away, thats your problem.

LOL I live in FL!
inspect around the windshield. The seal can go bad and/or rust around or under the seal.
