Default Leak coming from under the dash, dripping from unknown area

A leak has sprung from under the dashboard on the driver side. Not sure where its coming from but I circled the area that is above it in red. Is it a windshield leak and do I have to replace the windshield?


a lot of the water on the floor is from other things. I'm working on fixing those leaks also.

Probably just the gasket, about 40-50 bucks.

That said, stick your head under there and have somebody shoot a stream of water to see if you can find the source. Pull off cowling and inspect.

Pro tip: Got glass coverage?

All I could find is the 1997-2001 windshield seals... And I have a 1988...

Okay I just found this one. It's the first one that came up:

Windshield Gasket 1984-2001

Two leaks. One I know is coming from the firewall fuse box area and the other (this thread) I'm not 100% sure where its coming from.
