However, it takes less than that to begin impairing brain function and put the driver, and other drivers on the road at risk. Anything above 100ppm can be hazardous to your health. I think they (Ford) wanted to err on the side of caution. Over time, the Carbon Monoxide could build up resulting in much greater density than 100-150. Otherwise, you'd never be able to off yourself off your own exhaust fumes.
Side note: A car puts out 100-200ppm at the end of the exhaust. Should there be an exhaust leak, the PPM is MUCH higher. Like 7000 ppm.

A number of years ago my father had a series of minor accidents over a short period of time. The cause was determined to be carbon monoxide leaking into the passenger compartment.

It's the catalytic converter that takes that 7000ppm and brings it down to 100-200ppm. Any leak before that portion of the exhaust will be MUCH denser in Carbon Monoxide than from anywhere after.

bm2088hp, THANK YOU!! I have had the water leak for a week now and it has been raining hard in Texas. I went and washed my baby today and had about 2 gallons of water rolling around on my passenger side. I was going nuts!! I just used your fix and it is fixed! Thank you so much!!

I went to check on this... the only thing I could find on the passenger side (didn't look on the driver's side) is a small oval shaped grommet. I removed it and directly behind it was foam... is this the spot or am I missing something?

Thanks!
That was easy... I saw the tub around the filter full of water but couldn't find a drain- the photos were perfect.
I was going to pull the small siphon from inside the rubber gasket, but I left it in for now and will keep an eye on it.
This was a good excuse to replace the cabin air filter too I guess...
