In mine it was a tiny bit of rust in the wiper tray beside the hump for the air intake for the blower motor. I've actually seen rust there on 3 toyotas so far. You may have this same rust on the driver's side. This caused water to get in and rust out the fire wall and the floor around the body mount. To repair it properly I took off the fender. Drilled out the spot welds for a little plate covering the end of the tray. You'll then see where its rusted. Before going this far, you can do the garden hose test before getting to this point. Put water in the loovers around your wipers. Pull up your carpet and have a look at the fire wall and see if water is comming in.
