    Hello everyone, I have a Honda Accord 1999 4 door LX. It only has
    30,000 miles on it. I bought the car in Feb. 99, brand new.

    In the last month I've had some water on the driver's side floor that
    appears to be coming in from beneath the carpet. I think it's rain
    related - I live in Portland OR, and we get tons of rain. I noticed it
    when I detected the dismal smell of something dank and stagnant in the
    interior. I checked the floors, and the driver's side is the only
    place where there is moisture. I don't get standing water or anything,
    but the wetness there seems abnormally high. I've removed the floor
    mat (which was very wet underneath) and patted the carpet dry with
    paper towels, and I've been keeping my eye on it. The carpet is drier
    now, but it keeps on getting wet, and I'm pretty sure it's not from
    water on my shoes when it's raining outside.

    Anyone have any ideas? And if I were to take it in to a shop, should
    it be a body shop or repair shop? As you probably can tell, I don't
    know that much about cars.

    Thank you for reading.

    Look underneath the car, at the floorpan where the driver's feet go. Is the
    big black rubber plug missing? It's about 2" in diameter.
