So my girl is in my passanger seat complaining that her feet are cold. Than she starts complaining that my floor is cold. Make a long story short something is leaking on my passanger side of my car I pulled up part of my carpet real quick there is about a 2 inch thick solid block of ice under my carpet the size of the whole area in front of the front passanger. I really gotta get to the bottom of this at least its frozen if it melts im gonna have a lot of water damage. Any suggestion what it might be? Isnt their a drain hose on that side I think ill start their and see what happens.

sounds like you`ve got a hole in the heater matrix which is a pain in the ass to replace, or somthings gone pop in the aircon.

i'd be calling the toyota dealership very quick and finding every possible think that could be goign on. Also, be careful about pulling things apart if it's cold (obviously because of the ice) because that car plastic breaks VERY VERY easily

heater core! The fact that you said passanger seat gives it away.

There are drain plugs...but I think they have to come off from the inside of the car. What I'd do now while the ice is still frozen is take something sharp and break the ice apart, then pull it out piece by piece.

heater core is heated with anti-freeze. If it were the heater core you'd have a sweet smell through out the car and wet carpet, not frozen. Every heater core I've ever replaced has been a major P.I.T.A. I'd keep looking into other possibilities like some one constantly tracking snow into the passenger side of the car.

any way it can come from the passenger side door? look for other wet spots around the car. check for rust.
