Remove the glove box and the carpet underneath it - very easy to do. Then contort yourself and look at where the windshield wiper motor comes through the firewall - is there a rubber washer surrounding the shaft, or can you see space around it?

Water flows right down that path, the only thing keeping it out of your passenger compartment is a washer that often gets tossed with a wiper motor replacement. Dealer part - about $4, tops.

Good luck, do it quick - it can kill a brick much faster than engine neglect. Rust kills.
