footwell flood?

My Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6 LS has fluid flooding into the drivers & passengers footwell, it also gives off a horrible smell. If I turn the heater up form cold only slighty the Windows steam up.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please

If the ac drain was clogged it would get wet only from ac being used and wouldn`r steam up the windsheild.
Sounds like your heater core is bad.

look under the bonnet, on the bulkhead, you`ll see a rubber hose coming from under the windscreen area, remove this and clear the "gunk" from it then refit it, chances are it`s full of dead leaves etc, when it rains it wont be draining fast enough.
( had the same prob on my cavalier )

it sound like your heater matrix {a small radiater} or a pipe leading to it has brocken
