Look for the drain tubes. If they are there, check for blockages. If not, put some on and route outside the cab.

I did find a little piece of plastic blocking the tube on the drivers side but even after clearing it I still have leaking problems. only the drivers side leaks. The drain setup is a Y where the passenger side goes straight down and the drivers side is routed to the passenger side. Pics soon to follow.

Wouldn't be unusual for a foreign object (bug/dirt) to stop up a drain tube.

OK, here is where the problem is coming from. This pictures is looking up from the gas pedal. The bottom center of the picture is where the drain tube hooks up. but no matter how tight water always spills from there. just above that there is some plastic that overlaps and it looks to me like water can easily come out of there... should I silicone this up?
