Default Puddle driver side

Please read all this before responding so were on the same page. Ok so I got a leak. I removed my drivers seat and all panels holding down the rug so I could lift it. Theres a puddle in there. I will tomorrow or Saturday check battery drain but I think that would affect passenger side and pass side is bone dry. I checked the hood cable rubber piece and it seems tight so I dont think its that. I have no sunroof. Wheres the drain for driver side of the car by the ECU box? Under it?

Is that a patch?

It must be holding since the water isnt draining out.

This goes into the ECU box. My boost gauge vacuum line goes under there as you can see in the picture. Maybe waters getting in there? But I assume the water would FSU in there and Id have bigger problems than a leak. Still a possibillity.

Pic of the rubber seal for hood latch cable. Seems tight to me. There a good amount of water so however uts getting in its really gettin in there. Seriously doubt its this.

Cleared the 2 drains (under battery and brake booster). Saw dampness near ecu box took it out, siliconed under gasket tightened back up. Shop vaced the puddle now letting the carpet dry. Ill see how that goes. Thanks for all the input...
