No matter where the leak is, this is the low spot so this is where 
the water will end up. In your case check the left side of the car.

Things to check:

Airbox water drain hoses. Is the carpet wet on top, just under the 
airbox?

Rustthrough of the inner fender walls. Check inside the wheelwells, 
at the back of the front wheelwells and at the front of the rear 
wheelwells. Each of these will cause leaks that are not easily seen 
from the inside.

Missing antenna cable grommet. If your cable just comes thru an 
unsealed hole, a lot of water can come in that hole when you drive 
in the rain.
