Check the air conditioner condensate drain that it isn't plugged. Could also
be pooling of water under the air plenum (forward of the windshield and
under the wipers). I believe that there are drains that can get plugged with
leaves, pine needles and all manner of schmutz that falls on the car.

I took a car out for a test drive many years ago and noticed a sloshing
sound in the rear. When we got back to the owner's house, popped the trunk
and found the spare tire well full of <nasty> water and rust... no sale.
