Water saturating floor on passenger side. Carpet smells moldy due to recurring problem. Taken to dealer 2 times previous and truck at dealer now for the 3rd time to attempt a possible repair. Sealed drain hole in firewall where evaporator housing drain hose goes through to outside of body and checked A/C lines for leaks. Truck leaks from inside the firewall, dealer is not sure where.
