Default water leak

I have a pretty bad water leak in my 90 civic. It is coming from somewhere in the passenger kick panel area. Anyone else experience a water leak in that area? I don't have a sunroof if that makes any difference.

Is it water or coolant?

If its coolant then theres a leak at the heater core.

Water. Like rain and ****. Its real intermittent too. Sometimes during heavy downpours it will leave a lake that covers the entire passenger floor. Other times it will not leak at all. Ive checked all the engine bay grommets and all around the windshield and found nothing. I have not pulled the fender however.

It is running down behind the foam that is behind the dash and heater core on the firewall. Sometimes I can watch it leaking but opportunity never knocks at a good time to get a better look at where it is running down.

Best way to find it the leak get in the car and have a friend run water over the front of the car till you see the leak and where its coming from.

Could be your gaskets where the a/c lines go through the firewall. Or where all the wires go through the firewall. Mine has the same issue and still have not fixed it.
