If that's coming out of your firewall, pull gently on the loom to see if the grommet has separated and the seal is broken. You can either A) replace the grommet (a pain) or B) try to re-seal it with some silicone (easy).

thank you. yes you are right i opened it up and previous owned wraped it up with electric tape.. plus all the ***** clips were broken;;since it was getting dark, i put more tape for temporary but will need to actually solve the problem.
i honestly wont be able to replace it since i dont think i will be able to remove all the wire but i can do silicon job i guess.
anyway thank you for the input. looks like your the expert on it. i see your answers all the water leak problems lol.

Yeah, I've been there. Silicone kitchen and bathroom caulk works well. Get the clear, fast curing kind and wear latex gloves when you're slopping it on. If there's any rust, hit it with some Rustoleum or POR-15 first. No one's going to see it under there, so don't worry too much about how it looks. Also, make sure you get your carpet completely dry (use a fan, if possible).

thank you. yea never have experience with silicon, and that helps a lot.
thankfully there were no rust. yea just need to peel off all the tape and silicon seal it then. The side towards wall is really hard to get to tho.
