Answer
Allen,
There is only one way to find the leak. Have someone inside the car and another person hose the car down. Sometimes removing seats and panels help identify the area that is leaking.
Could this water be from a leaking heater core? Is the water sweet smelling or have a bitter taste? Is the A/C drain clear and not leaking inside the car?
