My floor board is wet and you can see no leaks. It has not rained or been through water in over a week. I took it to a mechanic and they said that the sunroof drained fine and it wasn't the air conditioner. Actually the air is not working, says low in coolant. It appears to be water and has no scent.

Sounds like the heater core may be leaking.

The only possibilities are....

AC condensation
external rain leaking it
heater core

And you are low on coolant. Looks pretty obvious to me.

Every thing I read says the heater core leak would be on the passenger side. It is also acts like it comes up from the floor. Like you press on floor it and it bubbles up.
