Default Leak!

I have a 98 xj. For some reason I have a leak in the passenger floor board. It's not coming from above. My floor mat never gets wet. Only my carpet and underneath. Anyone know some possibilities of what it is.

Has it rained recently in your area (windshield gasket)? Cowl have any holes underneath.

Did you notice it after driving it or has it been sitting?

Could be a door gasket as well.

More info will help.

Yeah it rained. And it's just in the passenger floor board. It can't be from the door because there's no sign of it coming from the door. It'll be dry one min and the next time I check it's wet. It only happens sometimes when I drive and sometimes when I just go out and check it. It seems like it's coming from the front underneath the carpet

It looks like it's coming from the dash underneath the black rubber which I can't see under. It smells like water. But idk
