Default Water in foot well, passenger side

Anyone with any ideas of what I need to address when I find the carpet wet in the foot well of the front passenger side of the car. It has not rained nor have I washed the car. The only thing I can think of is something in the aircon system. Thanks

Need to check the drain vents on each side of the battery. Making sure they aren't clogged is always the first thing to do.

Cab or coupe?
Backed up drains, battery and sunroof?
Heater core?
Is the windshield fogging
and difficult to defog..sweet smell?

Make sure it stays dry under drivers side seat.

Pull the carpet and insulation back and check the A/C drain tubes for proper connection. There is one on passenger side and one on drivers side to direct condensation from evaporator area to and through floor pan. It could be either stopped up or disconnected.

AC condenser drains are pluggeed or are leaking or both. Remove the cover on the bottom of ac condenser and you can see the drain tube. Located in pass footwell, high.

To answer some of the questions....this is a coupe. The first thing I checked were the 4 drains. They were not clogged but I snaked them and poured water down to make sure they work well. Do not have an issue with foggy windows or removing fog when it does collect due to changing weather conditions. The drivers side is dry. I will pull back the carpet and insulation and check the condenser lines. Thanks for the suggestions.
