Whats going on fellas? Im fairly new to Nissan (Honda at heart, I know flame away! ) so bear with me...

The front drivers side floor is always wet. It has rained off and on for a couple days now, so I assume its a drainage issue... Its an 01 Pathfinder 3.5SE... Has anyone else around here had an issue like this?

Any help is appreciated..

I havent had a chance to look under the truck, but Im changing the oil this weekend so ill see if I can spot anything that looks alarming... -Oh how I love changing the oil on a truck, I dont have to worry about jack clearance issues

Any help is appreciated!! Take it easy! Oh, and go LAKERS!!

Do you have a sunroof? It's likely the drains are plugged. I think they have them regardless. Can't be sure though.

Nothing wrong with hondas! Just the posers who try to "tune" them and make them look like rice-mobiles. They're good cars that bad people give a horrible reputation.

I have an 02 Pathy, and I have had the same problem as well.I wrote about this issue last year on this forum, and there was no consensus on where the leak was. You could try a search for this topic. Good luck with that. I never have had much luck with the search function on this site. Anyways, apparently, the problem is more common than I thought. I wasn't the only one at the time with this issue.I'm not even sure I completely fixed it, or how. I used a garden hose to narrow down the source of the water. I then went across the top of the firewall and beneath the windshield and sealed every little crack and hole I could find. I also drilled a small drain hole under the kick plate on the passenger side to drain any water. Seems to have worked. I also make sure all the other drain holes under the truck are not blocked.Good luck.

Thanks for the info.

Anyone know a place to find a good diagram of all the drain holes?
