Bought car from garage - foot wells are now full of water

I purchased a 52 reg Pegueot 307 yesterday, today I noticed the foot wells in front are drenched with water. Drivers side is worst. Cannot see any holes in bottom of car. Do you know what could be causing this? It is under 3 month warranty so I am taking it back Monday.
