Passenger side water leak
I have a water leak which is occurring in the front passenger side floor board. Every time it rains, or I drive in deep water(which splashes on my hood), water will pool in the passenger side floor board.
The particular area where it is coming from seems to be directly at the centre of the pass floorboard. I don't have any carpet so I just rolled up the sound deadener and took a look.
I'm not losing coolant, nor does the water smell or taste of anything. I have tried hosing down the jeep for a bit, but I can't seem to get water to leak in
I've tried searching the forums, and google with no luck.
Anyone have a similar issue, or know where to start looking for the cause?

okay really weird!
I have been sitting with the hose spraying on the jeep, between the antenna and windshield, and I found the leak.
Its coming through my rocker panel?!? How is water even getting in there?
BTW, my rocker panel was completely rusted out so I sealed it with spray foam and Bedliner.

I ripped out all the spray foam, and am going to respray it again.
I think I might have found the area water is leaking in. In the back corner of the engine bay, near the washer fluid bottle, there is some steel overlapping, and it looks like there was some sealant then previously. Going to trying sealing that up, and testing again.
Here is where the water seems to be coming in from:
