Is the floor also wet under the dash? This could be a lot of things why your car is running hot. Could be a head gasket, cracked cylinder head or block, stopped or restricted radiator, water pump impeller faulty with broken vanes, stopped up heater core, cracked water jacket and or a leaking intake manifold gasket. So as I stated could be a slew of causes. You'll have to actually diagnose the cause by checking from the easiest cause to the hardest.
try having an assistant 'water'' your car with a garden hose while you're in it.especially check seals at windshield & doors.it could take a few minutes of ''watering'' before a leak shows up.
if it has a back heater either a water line to the heater core broke or the heater core for te back heater sprung a leak probabley the heater core on the back heater replace either the hose or the back heater core whatever is leaking.
I recently had this repaired. As it turns out, the evaporation reservoir separated from the firewall. I was fortunate enough to have a good mechanic that completely diassembled my dash to locate the leak. He did not make up some lame diagnosis. I was unfortunate enough to have to pay for the extensive work, but it is worth it. He resealed the heater core compartment to allow the water to drain out properly. I spent many hours searching for an answer in the internet. this is the only solution that I know of.
Here is what all dealers do to find water leaks, we spray a fine mist of water on the car near where the water might be comming in with a spray nozzle, someone gets inside the car and look for the leak, there is no other way, and I have been doing this 30 years.
