Water leaking into cabin on the drivers side

Have you tried looking under dash for water droplets maybe on wires so you can trace the leak. Where on carpet does it start, high or is it only wet

Maybe the AC drain is clogged.
How long have you had the car and how long and often has this been happening?
And if the370Z.com can't help you no one can.

Yea its only on the floorboard I've had it for 7 mo. and this is the 2nd time its happen. I had found a whole on the floorboard the first time cause the guy who owned it before me had led lights under the car and was running the wire through floorboard so I cover it thinking that was the issue.

Look for more holes and make sure they are sealed. If you have nice, round holes, you can get plugs in many sizes. Otherwise, RTV may be the answer.

Check the firewall and make sure all the seals are intact (and that the OP didn't poke a few holes).

IIRC, the A/C drain is on the right side of the car and shouldn't be the problem but I'm not 100% sure. FSM will have drawings and descriptions.

After sealing all the holes/leaks, make sure the carpet and padding are completely dry or mold/mildew can get started.
