Were is the cam sensor

Open the hood for access to the engine compartment. Locate the front of the engine facing toward the passenger side of the Olds 88. Locate the pulleys along the front of the engine. Look for the camshaft pulley, which is the main pulley and is also the largest pulley of all the pulleys in the engine.3 Find the water pump pulley directly above the camshaft. The camshaft sensor is located between the two pulleys. The sensor is round with a wiring harness sticking out of the end.

    The passenger side floor of my 93 accord is wet. It is not antifreeze and I don't use the air conditioning.

    look under the car there are plugs located in the floor look to see if the plug has rotted , the ac condenser still condenses water even if it is not turned on check to see if the drain on the fire wall(located on the fire wall passenger side towards the bottom)is plugged with mud or debris, if it is not plugged the heater/ac unit shell may be cracked allowing water to seep, also check around the front window for leaks.
