I have notice lately that the drivers side front carpet is always wet, could it be some type of a backup or a bad thermostat causing this problem?

Does it smell like coolant? IF so, chances are the heater core is leaking.

Let me know.

I'm glad you found the problem. I was thinking heater core because this is the time of year everyone starts using the heater again.

Regardless, let us know if you have questions in the future, and thanks for using 2carpros.com
