Why is there water leaking on the passenger side floorboard of your Lincoln town car?

Over the years I have had this on many of my cars as they get older...indicative of the heater core starting to leak.
If you turn on your defroster does your windshield fog over (rather than clear)? Another symptom.
I do not know what is involved in changing a town car's heater core...most vehicles have it embedded so deeply under the dash that you have to tear almost everything apart to get to it.
If this IS your problem, it's not going to get better...and it's too late for an additive like "Stop-Leak" to do any good. A temporary solution (not so good THIS time of year) is to bypass the heater completely...under the hood you should find two hoses, about 1" in diameter, that attach to fittings by the firewall. One is the heater input, one the output. Disconnect them from the firewall, and attach them to each other using a fitting, or take one off and run the other where you removed the first from.
The good news, no more leaking inside the car. The bad news, no heater function, or worse no defroster function.
Good luck!
Water runs in when it rains. Car is not running. Need help! Water comes in in great quantities.

Have you used your air conditioning lately? The most common reason for water to appear to be leaking on the passenger floorboard is that the condensation drain for the air conditioning is plugged. Unfortunately, the drain is pretty much inaccessible to the average person and I have yet to discover a reasonable method of clearing it other than paying the dealer or a mechanic to do it. The other, less common causes for that type of leak is that the heater core is leaking, in which case the fluid will be antifreeze rather than water, or the door seal on the passenger door may be leaking, or the windshield gasket may be leaking.

Would that be when it is raining ? If so you need to caulk around the vent in the fire wall area. If not from rain, then the heater core is leaking, and you will be losing coolant.
