Is it possible that it had just accumulated on the rear floor and under the 
battery? That area is about 1.5" lower than the front floor and a leak under 
the back seat is fairly common. Water that pools there will come rushing 
forward when you brake and can come as quite a surprise. BTDT!

If so, the source of the leak is probably a rusted out area on the wall 
outboard and rear of the battery. Look in that area for signs that water has 
washed down from above.
