Default water leak

Can anyone help me with this problem?? Just recently my z06 started to leak water on the inside passenger kick panel. Anyone ever experience this?
Thanks,
Don

Just in the rain or after a car wash, or just it leak when its dry outside (as in a heater hose is pinholed)?

Lee,
Thats the funny part.. Only when it rains. I just took the car through the car wash and it didn't leak. It really has me baffled!!

Boy, I don't know. Probably not coming in through the windows, then. I'd see if maybe its coming from the cowl, or through the floor of all places - splashing up during rain, from the street, through the lower door seal, or worse???etc. And I'd worry a bit (don't panic) because of course the body fuse box is right there under the cowl at the passenger's feet: too close.

Morning...
Well, I don't think I have to worry to much about the fuse box thing. The water drips down more towards the door end than the front. I found a rivet that looks like it may be the cause of the problem. I caulked the head and now I'll just wait and see. Theres not a lot of water coming in (thank GOD!). The car is perfect in all other aspects so if it keeps leaking maybe I'll bring it to GM.
thanks for your help though. Its good to have a person like you on this site!!!
Don
