Default Blower fan drain?

Past several months the front pass floor has been damp to sometimes wet. I thought it was the floor itself letting road and tire spray in from several cracks and holes. I thought i fixed it with a generous coating of that tv flex rubber stuff. I thought it was mostly fixed. Then i was away and didn't drive for a week but it rained heavy. When i checked it today it was very wet...without driving. That leaves the firewall and or blower fan plenum. I looked for some kind of drain line to see if it was blocked but couldn't find one. Is there? Its an 01, and the drivers side seems dry Thanks

Does your Jeep have a roof rack ...or sunroof? Those are other sources of leaks. Lift up the carpet and get a small fan under there. I just spend a lot of time cutting out a rusted floor and welding in a new floor pan in my Jeep. What a pain. Don't let yours rot out!
