Water pipes that go in / out of the heater matrix, if there's a crack on them (even a hairline one that you can barely see) it'll leak, you'll be able to tell if it's them because the heaters won't work too well.
Or check for leaks through the bulkhead / battery tray and have a look at the bottom of the windscreen rubber (the corners in particular).

if it is the tray (WHICH I reckon it will be), get it welded up. remember to use loads of damp rags on the inside to protect all of the goodies under the dash. then get a portable heater, stick it inside, open the windows slightly, and dry it out. to stop it happening again, buy a battery tray liner, gm part no. v0090321096 for ?2.87+vat (I bought one last week)
