What is your question?
My passenger side floorboard keeps getting wet. I'm not losing water, so I know it's not my heater core.The van sits under a carport so I know my windshield is not leaking. My ac seems to be dripping pretty good so I'm puzzled

You say the air conditioning drips pretty good, do you see a good quantity of water coming from under the car especially in hot weather when the van in idling in a stationary position with the a/c on this is normal. It is best to look for water leaks when everything is dry. First is the door seal or door, damaged in anyway? Do the doors close flush with body? Ensure the door seal makes good and uniform contact with the door (particularly important if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. You may need to pull back carpets pull back the carpets and sit inside the car (you may need a flashlight) and get a friend with a garden hose to spray water around the door jams to determine if the water is entering the doorway. Then spray water around the windscreen moving around the circumference of the windscreen. Look around the windscreen area and look up from the floor mat area (as best you can) to determine if water is leaking in around the windscreen seal. Is there any rust around the windscreen area or body work? If you have a sun roof there is a drain tube at each corner of the roof to channel away water. A blocked drain may cause water to fall from the sunroof area Water can also come up through the floor pan as you drive through water on the road, if any rubber bung or “seam sealer†has been disturbed or is missing.
