Default Wet carpet?

My heater core isn't bad, but I think it may be leaking because every few days the car is low on water, and the carpet is kinda damp under the floor mat, the headgasket is brand new, aswell as the water pump, so it's neither of those, and there are no leaks under the hood that I can see... What else could it be besides a heater core?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

If your car has A/c something similar to this happend to my brother, it turned out that something was wrong witht the ac so there would prety much be a clog of ice so the water would just come out i guess and the carpet would always be wet in that exact same spot, i dont know about loosing water, but worth a shot?

So, you bypassed the heater core?

Squirrel piss. Be sure to roll your windows up when you leave the car.

Well, thats the thing, when I rubbed my fingers through the dampness, they didn't smell, or feel like they had brake fluid on them

maybe your car has a leak and when it rains water gets inside. as for the car being low on water that maybe another issue.
