Default water on passenger floor

Hey guys, Im trying to find the leak that's soaking the passenger side floor in my dads girlfriends jeep. It seems to be coming from up behind the glove box. I've taken the seat and the carpet out and dried up all the existing water. Does the AC evap drain run right by there and how would I get to it? any advice?

Also, The starter is bad on the car too. I can't seem to muscle off the bottom bolt on the starter. Any advice?

Windshield might be leaking spray the water hose on it and see if it leaks there...

PB blaster is your friend on em. I got mine off with a wrench though. have fun.

When you put it back together use anti-seize

99.9% of the time water leaking onto the pass. side floor is the heater core leaking. The AC does not drain in this area. to replace the core is about a 6 hour job if you know what your doing, take it slow and get a manual you'll be fine !!!

Isn't the heater core over there?

Is it sweet smelling or just water? If it smells like antifreeze, it's the heater core.
