    After a big rain or car wash I would find the passenger side floor
    very wet. Thanks to this forum I was able to zero in on my water
    leak. For two months I fought the water leak before my wife found this
    forum. I read where someone suggested checking the drain for the
    fresh air intake, a grill just below the wind shield. I put water
    from a hose into the grill slowly so it would only go into the grill.
    Sure enough after a minute or so the water started coming out inside
    the car on the passenger side. This told me the drain was clogged.
    After searching high and low I found the drain. It was exactly where
    it should have been. Under the hood on the passenger side right
    beneath the grill above. There is a rubber hose about 18" long going
    straight down then turns toward the rear of the van. If you pull
    straight down on the hose where it connect to the van it will come
    off. To make sure you have the right hose, put water into the grill
    and it will immediately come out of where you have just removed the
    hose. To fix the clog I put a garden hose into the drain hose and
    turned it on. The should force any clog out of the other end of the
    drain hose. Put the drain hose back in place and your water leak
    should be fixed.
