Hi Im a newbie. I little quick intro (I know I probably need to do this in the introduction area) but anyway my girlfriend has a 99 Alero 2dr auto with the 2.4 motor. My question is that there is a major leak im mean like a puddle that occurs on the driver side. Only the driver side. Ive pulled up the carpet to see if I could find where the water is coming from. Its all dry Ive even pour water all over the car in high volume to see if i could get it to reoccur. Ive done a search on aleromod and nbody.net and I found out that several people have had this leaking issue. A lot of people say its a leak under the cowl with plugged drains that causes the water to go in the the HVAC motor and spreads through the system. But the problem is I can not find any solutions to fix the problem nor can I recreate the leak. When it was raining really hard I pulled out the glovebox and and put my hand in the blower motor. i could see and feel it was a little wet so i belive this is the problem. I pulled off the cowl today to check for clogged drains and they are not. I even ran water through them again to see if I could find the issue. No over filling, so I dont think the drains are clogged. Can anybody elaborate or have any other tips to help me find the leak and solve the problem?

These are a couple of links i found that describes the same problem but not a solution or a descriptive one. http://www.n-body.net/forums/viewtopic.php...&highlight=leak

Some pics I took to show you what im talking about.

The blower motor

The passenger side drain, you can see the edge for blower motor entrance

The dirver side drain

The whole setup

The blower motor from behind the glove box, notice the rusty bracket

Her car for all of you who love to see readers rides!

Thanks in advance for all your help!
