You're kinda late to the show Son...about 12 years late, the guy probably sold the car by now but carry on...

Water leaks.... The water leak is coming from the windshield washer well ... There is a drain on both sides of the car the rubber sleeve has a slit in the middle that is suppose to open to let water out but close to stop creepy crawlers from getting in... Any diry or leaf debris will clog that opening. The well fills with water and when u accelerate it splashes in through the cabin air filter .... And heater box.... I chose to remove the sleeve/grommet all together and chance the crawlers... They are alot cheaper to fix than these electronics... If u reach down the firewall u and grab and pull downward they pull right out ...

The rubber drain valve is there to keep not only creepers, it also there to keep out carbon monoxide gasses.
