Default Puddle of water

Hello
This is my first post on here and I need advise on a problem.
I've recently bought a Focus 1.6lx(2002) and at the weekend I discovered a small puddle of water on the floor behind the fromt passenger seat. I checked all over and this seems to be the only place that's wet. I've checked the doors and cant see any faults. Is it possible that the leak's coming from underneath? Only had the car 6 weeks and it only came with 1 months warranty. Any advise on where I would stand with the garage would also be much appreciated.
Many thanks

There could possibly be a leak in your sunroof or window seals and the water is running down the inside if your panels and out beside the floor in the back. I had a simalar problem with back window leaking and the water would run to the front of the roof and leak out of the map light holder
