My 740 was continuously leaking and soaking the carpet on the passenger side. I checked and the drain hole thru the firewall going out to the engine compartment was completely clear. After pulling the carpet and mat out to dry, I turned on the AC to find the leak.
Turns out it was leaking as a constant drip right where the pan met the firewall. There is a foam gasket there and it was running right down the firewall into the floorboard. I tried silicones at first, and it still leaked. However I did find something that finally sealed it up.
I got a bottle of Gorilla Glue. I then stuck it up under that foam rubber seal and squirted a bead all around that thing. Left the thing to dry for a few hours and it expanded and sealed it up. Has not leaked a drop in 5 years.
I have also used that Gorilla Glue to seal up my threads on the chicken waterer bottom of the bucket where the valve attaches. 6 years out in the weather and that thing doesn't leak a drop still.
Again, in my 240, wet floorboards meant stopped up drain hose and it could be that in yours. If the drain is working properly, then maybe you have the same problem I had.
good luck!
