Default '93 90s - Wet floors

i currently purchased a '93 90s.
I have been unable to find repair manuals for the car in any local part store

after about 2-3 days of driving i noticed that the floors on the passanger side were drenched. i suspected coolant, but it does not smell like coolant or antifreeze. its just like water.

i do not have a coolant leak in the radiator, but the coolant tank ran empty today.

my question is, is it possible for the coolant tank to leak inside the car on the passanger side?
and
what else can leak into the interior of the car?

thanks
Charly

there is an interior radiator, which has engine coolant in it. It provides heat for the blower motor to heat the cabin. I'd say that's where you got the leak from.

There is not much else that could cause water to pool on the passenger side floor unless you left the window open...

thanks alot for you quick response Black_RSA,

i did some research on some of the posts here, and i suspected it was the inner rad.
