Default Leak problem

Have a huge leaking coming from above the passenger side floor behind the glove box. I took of the box and I can't seem to find where the leak is coming from! Any suggestions?

Mine leaks around the top of the windshield and drips onto passenger floor board, waiting for the weather to get better and I'm going to seal it up.

Leaking what? Water? Coolant? If it's water, does it leak when it's raining or at the car wash? It could be condensation from the AC.. sometimes the drain hose gets blocked. If it's coolant, then i'd suspect a leaky heater core.

This may sound stupid but maybe if you got some markers (not sharpee, but like crayola) and did some coloring, it would "wash off" where the water is coming from.

Or get a friend and a hose. Start spraying different areas as they watch for the leak.

I have the same problem, only when it rains. I found the water is coming from inside the heater box. After several days of looking I sprayed dyed water in the
Hole where the hood hinge does through the firewall and the water started dripping where the heater box is screwed together.Two places. The foam seal around my hinge was bad so I fixed it today,not sure if it helped yet.I think there easily could be other ways water are heatgetting in. P S I jade to make the glove box out to see the leak .

Mine leaks on both the drivers side and passenger side coming from under the dash. A lot of people here on the forum told me it was the A/C. After noticing it only happens when the A/C is on, I concur!
