A nonvolitile dye can help trace the leak. You can then see it with a black light.

Check sunroof drain and body seals.
Pull carpeting back and place blue (blue with show moisture better than white) paper towels on the floor and hit the car with water, open end hose, no nozzle and start low to high.

My guess is that it has something to do with your tubing that drains from the sunroof down the A pillar.

I had this problem in my Accord where I would have a puddle in the passenger footwell. After tearing everything out and trying to locate the source of the leak - had to take it into the dealership and they told me tubing was bad.

I had a leak when i purchased my TL. They changed just about everything at the dealership. Ultimately, what solved it was the windshield strip i believe. Goodluck, not fun always cleaning up the mess.
