Default Leak, passenger floor getting soaked

I have a 2.3L 92 tempo, 5-speed manual, and for some reason whenever it rains i get a leak that runs down to my passenger side floor. I've pulled the carpet up multiple times to suck the water out with a wet-dry vac and keep it from rusting or molding my carpet. I resealed the windshield and its still happening. Someone said it could be leaking around my heater box? Any suggestions?

Try cleaning out the cowl drain in the engine compartment.It may help but you will have to run water on it and try to see exactly where the water is coming in,the dash has to come out to reseal the the heater box.
