Default Mystery water leak!

Came out to the car yesterday to find that my driver's side floorboard in front of the cross member was soaked! Literally dripping wet. Nothing else in the car was wet, I can't find evidence of a leak at the firewall or the top. I ended up taking the seat out as well as most of the trim and letting it dry overnight. It's still a bit damp this morning. I'm perplexed; it didn't really rain night before last; it may have sprinkled, but there was a significant amount of water in the carpet. Everything I've found searching has referenced the passenger side getting wet from the A/C on occasion. Any ideas as to what the source of this water could be?

Have you worked on the car lately? You may have forgotten to plug something back.

Could it have gotten wet over a period of time, but you just didn't notice?

It's from the AC drain which is stopped up.

Found the leak. Water was following the power wire for the amp through the firewall. The previous owner did a pretty crappy install job, but some silicone fixed that.
