Winter troubles, help a suby owner out!

So I am extremely confused, I have a 03 wrx under my drivers side floormat it's wet. Not like I climbed in and my feet were wet, I mean WET I cleaned out the rain duct under the wipers but it wasn't clogged. No windows down, no rust at all on the car? The peddles area seems dry so where is it coming from? Anyone else have this problem?

I have another issue if anyone can help me, my car seems to drop at idle after I shift out of gear. So I drop it out of second it goes to 750 the falls to 500rmp then pops back to 750 ish? I searched the forum and found a few things to try. I cleaned and replaced the gasket on the tps and the other thing sensor (sorry I forgot what it's called) no leaks there and no visible leaks? Input it much appreciated guys! Thanks in advance

Put it up on the lift and check around. The only other thing I can think of is the rubber grommets on the driver side of the firewall is allowing water to seep into the cabin.

Does your heater still work? It could be the heater core.

Hmmm there seems to be two grommets on it behind the intercooler and under the booster, but it's not wet anywhere near them? I'm going to find a lift and give it a Truro look thanks man

I had a similar issue, look for the hole behind the driver side fender where the harness goes through to the cabin.
