Interior Water Leak

Hey guys...

So I searched this one out, but couldn't find anything similar. I have an 90 without a/c. I'm getting this water leak on the passenger side that is coming from the blower unit (the heater core is dry and the stuff coming out is water not coolant) The leak only occurs when it is raining (which is all the time here so it is freaking annoying), and is dripping directly from the vent that exits the blower unit before heading towards the heater core. Any suggestions on how the water is getting into the blower and how I can fix this?

Thanks for the help guys!

Sunroof drain tube? Make sure it is draining through the right spot.

bump

I don't have a sunroof. The leak is still there. If I turn the fan on, it sounds like it's spitting water. As soon as I turn the fan on, water begins to come out of the air ducts above the passenger side footwell. Ideas? It's not windshield.

I found it. Pulled blower motor/fan assy, and found that the windshield installation guide pin is right above the fresh air intake and was leaking water directly into it.
