I've been driving my 1993 9000 CSE in the UK for a year now & I love it. However, I recently noticed the floor is always damp under the rubber mat (even when it hasn't been raining). Some websites suggest it might be leakage from the air con.. but I don't have it. I've also checked the sunroof drains and they seem OK. The carpet seems to staining a sort of blue/green so I was wondering if it might be a leaky hose to the rear window wash wiper??? Hope it's nothing too serious - any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks

Safer to put down some clean cardboard & see what color the drippings are.
