my guess would be your clutch master cylinder has sprung a leak, or you heater core.... but for the heater core the wetnes would be more like near the center of the car. smell it and figure our what kind of fluid it is(brake or coolant) and fix it fast, because the stock carpet doesn't like to dry out with all that foam padding crap.
