Water leak?

    Here's the story, I have a 2000 toyota corolla. The cars only used once or twice a week(i use a motorbike most of the time). Anyway I was using it last sunday and noticed the carpet in the drivers footwell was soaking wet. The car hadn't been used for several days despite the heavy rain last week.
    The doors and windows were all firmly shut and I have no idea where this water has come from. It still hasn't dried out and the carpet is starting to smell.
    I won't have any time to take it to a garage this week, but does anyone have any ideas as to the cause? A faulty seal or something?

    Does it have a pollen filter? If so, suspect it. Are the drains at the firewall blocked? (near the bottom of the windscreen with bonnet up). Check these.

    Not your ornery onager

    I think the pollen filter on the Corolla is behind the passenger glove compartment, I know that's where it is on the 2002 model.

    It's likely like Esel said that been the time of the year it is that leaves have gone into the seals/drains around the bonnet and are lodging water there and this is eventually making it's way into the car.
