If it is water (not anti-freeze) and it is not raining, it could be a leaking A/C condensor drain tube. The tube could be blocked and the condensate is not draining out like it should.

Mine leaks in the back when it rains. I think its the hatch
glass, not the seal, because it was designed for a rear wiper system, but all that has since been removed and a "patch" was put over the holes. It pools in the spare tire space so I had popped the plug down there to let it drain. I've cleaned the tubes out that are along the hatch-line itself as they were clogged when i bought the car. I thought it was because those were dirty. I was wrong. Anyone heard of this problem?

Dragon -- I had the same exact problem 2 weeks ago. It is condensation from your A/C.
First, look under the glove box, and on the left, there is a tube leading from the A/C Condensation pan through the firewall. Disconnect it from the A/C pan, and have a towel ready, water will flow out of there. Look for the drain tube just in front of the passenger footwell, in the engine compartment. Pull that tube out of the firewall, take it to a sink, and most likely water won't run through it well. Once filled with water, blow on the end of the tube, harder and harder until all the gunk comes out.
For the O-ring that the tube goes through, place it in the holl in the firewall, then spray some WD-40 on the end of the tube, push it through the O-ring, and connect the hose back onto the thing you took it off of. And make sure the open end of the tube is facing down towards the ground!
Hope this helps...

yea if it only leaks when the A/C is on, the compressor drain tube is most likely clogged or has a leak in it. Just do what Driv300mph said, should fix it right up.

You might not even have to pull it out completely. I had stuff stuck in the very end of mine, a fricken spider nest to be exact, which I got out with some speaker wire with some paper towels wrapped around it. Stupid spiders really **** me off
