I have a 03' mustang convertible that floods under my passenger seat; we do know that it's NOT rain/water leaking through the window or from the convt. top. Neither the passenger seat nor the back seat are ever wet, and this puddle has almost a reddish orange tint and a horrible odor. I have taken it to a couple different places and none of them have a clue of what could be leaking. This may not have anything to do with it but my ac vents in the center got pushed back from air freshners sticks being pushed on too far possibly moving or touching something that they shouldn't in which I believe caused my radio to go crazy by turning the station on it's own and the display screen is missing half of the letters or numbers. I know it sounds irrelevant to the puddle of fluid, and yes I know very little about vehicles, but ever since this issue with the a/c was when everything else started acting up including the flooding. Does anyone have in suggestions in what this leak might be? It looks almost as if it could be coming through the center console area because I see reddish orange stains where the carpet and center console meet

It's your heater core. It is either clogged or needs to be replaced. The exact same thing happened to my Mustang... it would flood under my passenger seat and neither the passenger seat nor the back seat were ever wet, and this puddle had almost a reddish orange tint and a horrible odor.
