That could be water leaking under there from a bad A/C condenser.My 99 leaked thru the hood release lever,believe it or not!Check that too.

OK.Check the a/c/ condenser for leaks.When the a/c is on for a while,stick your hand under there near the hump somewhere and see if you get wet.Open the hood,check your filter by the pass.side windshield.It sounds like the condenser or the hood release though.

OK.Open the hood.Go to passenger side.The black plastice grating there.REMOVE it. I think it pry's loose then there's A couple of screws that you need to take out.It's the area directly in front of where the passenger would be sitting and looking out the window.Under there gets blocked up sometimes.Another way to see if it's wet is to loosen the glove box.Pull it down so it's hanging free.Stick your hand behind there and see if it's wet.If it's not,you're fine in that area then.The condenser would take a while to start dripping.You need the a/c on and leave it on for a while.Somewhere under there might be dripping.Other then that,the hood release could be it.Mine got wet every time it rained.The problem was the hood release,but the filter behind the glove box was soaked too.

You'll need to take the carpet out and let it sit for a week or so to dry out completely.Although it's summer,so it might take less time.Look behind the glove box too because that filter will be soaked as well I bet.Seems to a common thing with these cars.Put some sealer lube on the grating,or around I should say,to make it tight as well.You might want to have somebody check the area around the hood release under the hood on the fire wall because that area leaks too.

I forgot what lube I used.Might have been silicone based.Whatever is water proof,blocks water,water resistant will work as a sealant.
