You should fix the source of the problem first. This is probably because the 
little "hatch" that the FI computer mounted to, on the left wall there, has 
been incorrectly installed. This lets water in and rusts out the floor. This is 
a common problem.

That "hatch" has 2 screws at the top, but it also has 2 spring clips at the 
bottom. To install in correctly, you must work the lower spring clips over the 
edge of the inner body skin before installing the screws. Then it won't leak.
