Passenger side leak
yesterday when I started for home I found that the Passenger side floor board was soaked
my car has about 90,000 miles on it so I had thought that I was one of the lucky ones that didn't get the leak
anyway whats the easiest way to fix it? I've already shopvac'ed it dry

You might check the body drains where the cabin air filter sits. ITs underneath the cowl cover on the passenger side right behind the hood, especially if you park outside. The rubber gromet in there gets clogged and you just have to poke the gunk out of it with your finger. Quick Fix

No you don't have to remove the battery.
In the engine bay on the fire wall, there is a funny looking little grommet tucked up under the fire wall.
On the TSBs there should be a pic of where its at.
I'm with you its a depressing feeling to see the water coming in. :/

You can reach the rubber drains/boots easily from inside the engine compartment w/o removing anything. But that will be the leak source only if you're LUCKY. The TSB describes the REAL leak that's a major headache to fix.

well I looked and didn't see it
also its passenger side front and back floor boards the back floor board seems odd to me
and it didn't even rain today but they were wet again
do I have the same issue or something else?
btw could you link the TSB, the place that they used to be seems gone and the info thread is 11pages and doesn't seem to link the TSB early so if you are able to link it that would be great otherwise I'll try to find it tommarrow
its times like this I wish I still had warrenty (oh well that ran out tens thousands of miles ago)

It's not a grommet; it's like a pouch with a slit at the bottom. It doesn't look as though there's a slit. You have to feel around at the bottom of the pouch to get it open. One is on the driver side and one is on the passenger side. If you can find one, it's easy to find the other because they are mirror images of each other.
