Ok, water leaking into car...
When ever the car is parked tilting back (that is when the nose of the car is higher than the tail) water leaks in from under the dash on the passenger side. The water is coming in at the very right side under the dash when sitting in the passenger seat. I can actually see the water dripping into the car and this isn't a little bit of water here, there's a friggin' lot. When left in the rain all night the whole carpet on the passenger side is absolutely soaked, both front and back. This really bothers me not only because the car really stinks afterwards but I'm also worried about rusting from the inside of the car, out.
Could this problem be related with the sunroof? (I've heard of others having problems of water leaking on the passenger side due to sunroof problems). If not what could it be and should I be worried about rusting?
Thanks in advance

I think I found the problem.
There is some sort of filter just under the hood (could be the pollen filter) on the passenger side and it is all soaked. I think this is because the piece of plastic where the wipers sit is cracked letting the water in.
Thanks for all your help. (Next time I'll investigate more before posting.

Re: Ok, water leaking into car...
make sure the drains outside in the plenum box[were battery is]aren't clogged.yusually gets clogged with leaves and debris and fills up so bad that the battery floats.on the right side is the fresh air intake duct to inside the car,thus flooding you out.if the car is a automatic,the trans computer is getting killed[it's under the right front seat].you said it happens when it rains so i'll eliminate a pluged a/c drain

Any stereo work done to your car?
If you're run *any* cables into your car from the engine bay (power wire, boost gauge install, etc.) check the grommet you ran the wire through. Seal is thoroughly. I would remove the battery so you can get a clear view of every grommet down there.
