I replaced the wiper gaskets and all and it still leaks inside. I do know that it comes out the drivers inside vent whether its closed or open. And it comes out on passenger side. Anyone have any idea what is causing this problem?

Not sure how the B is attached, on my A the heater/right vent are attached by(among other things) "J" bolts, IIRC. If the water is dripping from the inside of your vent, I would look here. 7342695-codger.gif (60 downloads) It takes gasoline to interest me.
