Your heater core is leaking. Not a fun fix but doable. It's a green fluid right?

???That's what I was going to ask. Is it plane water? Does it have coolant? Does it only leak after a rain? Does your wind shield fog up? A little more info will help us help you...

Look for a clogged drain under the cowl. Sometimes a clogged drain will cause it to leak into the cabin.

Ahhh okay you might not be as unlucky as I thought. Pull off the cowl cover and see what's going on under there
