Default water in car prob

Ok im a bit fed up now with this prob

its a skoda favorit ( I know its fuckin shit scrap etc ) so keep your comments to yourself pls, as its my daily!

ive been seeing water on the floor mainly, coming from under the dash. we sealed the windscreen so its not there, can there be a problem near the mudguard or battery? and when im driving through water, theres water coming from the floor! can it be that theres not a mudguard cover!

many thankx lads, cause its a nightmare!

Lift back the carpets and look at the floor if there's any left, probably a dirty great rust hole somewhere!

has it got a sunroof? sometimes the drains pop off and the water just pours into the footwells from inside the A pillars. Would the water be comeing in from the heaterbox? Dry the car out, torch and get a pal to soak it with a hose, usualy the water will trickle ontop of the carpet before it soaks in. Try that.

there is like a whole under the dash, made from facotry, and it sleaking from there, might be the heaterbox.
