Help me with my damp patch please!

[Carrot]

1998 Corsa

Whilst trying to find some spare change I dropped earlier, I noticed that the carpet directly under the drivers seat is damp. The footwell is dry, and the area where the rear passengers legs go is dry, as is the whole passenger side...

How on earth is the water getting in there so specifically!

Did you have an 'accident'?

Possibly, my 1.4l auto engine is so fast that I often get scared

If it tastes sweet its coolant, if its salty then you are incontinent.

If its any help, I'm currently using a dehumidifier to clear moisture in my car that was caused by leak through the sunroof seal.

No sunroof - just bog standard 3 door car.

Global warming ?

Drivers door seal leaking?

Check the door drains, if they're blocked the door fills with water until it's full enough to run down the back of the door trim into the car.
A quick test, shake the door back and forth whilst listening for sloshing sounds.

Cured my grandson's Fiesta in 2 minutes!

Will do - did check for any signs of damp around the door, but the carpet and door seem dry leading down to the area

Its a really unexciting mystery, to be sure!
