I have a 95 pontiac grand am. The floor under the driver's side is always wet in a distninct spot, although there are no apparent seal problems, or leaks from the steering column, or under the dashboard. I haven't the slightest clue what this could be. HELP!

Is the floor wet with:
 
Water?
Hydrolic Fluid?
Oil?
Transmission Fluid?
 
What color? Temp?
 
Did you look under the carpet to see if there is a hole in the floor pan?
 
Turn on the heater and see i you get a drip? Make sure the AC drain is clear.
 
Just some ideas.

I have a 92 Grand Am and the trunk was filled with water because one litte part of the weathestrip on the trunk was ripped.Try checking the weatherstriping over the door. Also if u have wet feet and no floor mat u can make the fllorwet and it will stay wet.I also noticed that there is a space between the top of the door and where it meets the car roof.

I had this same prob with my 97 grand am. My boyfriend and his friend took out the seats and all the carpet, and we used a turkey baster to get out all the standing water. It was terrible. All the padding was ruined and we bought new. I took it to the dealer (big mistake) and they charged me over $300 for what couldn't have taken them more than 3 minutes. All they did was take some spray and sealed under the windshield. For that, they should have at least put the interior back, but no, we had to do that.

can anyone solve this problem or tell me if its safe to drill a few small holes under the rug through the floor so it can at least drain?

Filled Trunk by mlhoward

Right after I bought the car I had it parked facing downward on a hill. We had a huge storm and the next day I was driving and I heard a sloshing sound in the trunk. I get home, take everything out and open up the spare tire compartment. It was totally filled with water. We cleaned it out, checked for anything that could be leaking and put it back together. The next storm I parked it facing up the hill and it stayed totally dry. If you aren't parking on a flat, covered surface you should try facing it different ways.

Hi,
 
I own a 95 Pontiac Grand Am and am having the SAME EXACT problem as you. I've taken it to 2 different mechanics who've both charged me for doing certain things to it but it's NOT FIXED! I just got it out of the last shop a couple days ago and it was nice and dry. Then, we had a rainy day and now the floor is all wet again on the drivers side! Also, the windsheild fogs up BAD on the inside due to the moisture. That causes me to have to scarp the inside of the car each morning of the winter! Basically, my car is and I need help getting it
 
Have you found out what is causing this yet? Please let me know so I can point the mechanic in the right direction. He's as baffled as I am!
 
Kind Regards,
Sissy
