Troubleshooting - 1977 Delta 88

Was driving home last night, and noticed a small puddle of water on the passenger side floor. At first my heart sank, thinking it was the heater core. Upon further inspection, it looked to be plain water, not coolant, and my coolant levels are unchanged. It has been raining pretty hard (Oregon, ya know.) Are there common spots for leaks that might allow water into the cabin? The water came from under the dash, not a door seal. Thanks!

You are going to have to hunt with a flashlight and follow the flow upstream. A water hose, a pretty helper, and a warm day are good for this endeaver.

Yeah, I figured as much, I just didn't know if there was a common issue that anyone was aware of. Thanks for the reply!

Most likely a bad windshield seal, very common problem. carefully pop the trim and take a look, unfortunately it may also be a rust problem.
