Hello,
This is a common problem with the 2008 malibu,the problem you are facing is as a result of the fact that the water actually goes out of the vehicle through the drain pipe, and then comes back in from the outside of the pipe,which is due to the turbulence of the air under the hood which actually pushes the water back along the outside of the tube, through the seal and back into the passenger side.

The solution is to apply a seam sealer to surround the outer part of the drain pipe.

It will be at the side or under the ac box in the cabin. It will be under the floor carpet and will drain out in the engine compartment next to the gear box of rear of the engine.
