I just purchased a '96 Discovery manual 5-speed on 2" lift, and have had a ton of work done on it including a new radiator w/oil cooler, all new: lower suspension (bushings/tie rods), front suspension (steering damper/front shocks), engine mounts, ball seals, sway bar bushings, ball joints, inner axle seals, fuel pump flange replaced, oil pan reseal, gaskets (minifold/valve cover), replaced knock sensor, thermostat, belt, bled clutch, and new battery. Drives great now and NO death rattle to deal with. However, after driving it for around 35 miles I got home and when I pulled up the passenger side floor mat, it was soaked with water. I looked in the back seat floor and it was damp as well. All the way to the middle of the car, all on the passenger side. This is the catch, it wasn't raining at the time. Not a drop. But somehow enough water came from somewhere to soak the carpet. It didn't smell like coolant. No odor so I figured water. But where from? Where is there water in the car?
Water in floor carpet with NO RAIN!

Have you checked you air conditioning? I haven't looked at the setup for that on these yet but maybe the evap drain in the cab could be stopped up.
I haven't used the air conditioning other than checking to make sure it blows cold air before I bought it. Just the heat since it's cold here now.
If it isn’t raining and you say it not coolant maybe pull the carpet up and see where it’s leaking from. Could be the AC drain tubes.
Yes but if the AC is not on/running, how would it produce water that would need to be drained? I'll check the AC drain and report back!
I've also noticed dampness under the carpet in the backseat floor behind the center front console whenever I get home from driving it for over 30 minutes. When I pull the matts up, there is moisture collecting under the rubber mat and the carpet is wet/damp. Like it's condensation from something under the car?! Is that possible?
