Can anyone tell me what could be wrong and how to fix it? It is leaking on the passenger side only and when I go around turns I hear what sounds like water moving inside my car...like it has collected somewhere. My car is beginning to smell bad...I need answers quickly!

O.K. I'll sort out the answers for you. If you have not lost any coolant from your radiator,that is your car is not over heating,then the drain hose for your a/c system is plugged.It will start to mildew and that will cause the bad smell.If it is the heater core,you will notice a loss of antifreeze from the overflow container under the hood.On the pass. side of the car,low on the firewall,you will find a small hose comming thru.Use a long flexible wire(pipe cleaners are good for this)push it into the hose and clear the clog. problem solved!

You say that the water is on the passenger side floor?
I would then take off the radiator and take a look at what color is the water? It should be a green or red color, or it could be brown if you don't take care of the car. Take a smell of the water, and then smell the water inside the car, if they smell and look the same then chances are your heater core is leaking and needs to be replaced.

Definately heater core, look under the dash just below the glove box and you'll probably see the leak. If you have the skill they are relatively easy to replace, the problem is getting someone to repair the core itself(most radiator shops can do the job).
Good luck!

The drain that comes out of the fire wall for the evaporator center is plugged, it can be a rubber nipple on the passenger part of the engine compartment, loose it up and it will artwork effective.The drain is there with the aid of fact A/C pulls moister out of the air then drains out onto the floor, no count if this is plugged this is going to go away a puddle on the bypass part floor mat.

Sounds like your heater core went out. I had the same thing happen to my pickup. Just take it to a mechanic and they can replace it. That would be where I would start. If not take it somewhere to have it leak tested (you windshield could not be sealing properly).

If it doesn't smell like anti-freeze then it is condensation from the a/c unit. Find the drain tube and run a piece of wire up through it to remove the clog. All kinds of insects like to nest in the tube for the a/c drain...... I have seen spiders and dirt dobbers build webs and nest in the tube effectively blocking it. Good luck !

You might have a leak around your front window gasket. Its a good place to start. The smell is most likely mold from the carpet. Vacum it.

It could be a condensat from the air conditioner. Check the drain pipe that supposed to drain the condensed water from a/c - it could be clogged with something. Visit your mechanic, they can just blow it with the compressed air
