Take it to a drive thru car wash with plenty of extra towels. You'll find the leaks easily and then just air out the rest an fix the leaks. Not the most scientific approach but if it'* like mine, it could use a bath anyway.

Some of the info/questions above are now moot so starting from => Car now starts. New battery is installed along with (probably not needed) new starter mentioned earlier. I could get very detailed as to how car was parked at different times and where water was but would make for boring reading. As of now, It'* been on ramps for about a week. Roof mostly covered with plastic tarp but not on the left front side, perhaps not on the right front side either but not sure. Tarp did not reach the back of the hood near where meets windshield even though I had an old ratty car cover over the tarp that covered the whole car. Today very obvious water entering front driver floor area and to back left floor, Some but much less less, also on the right rear floor. Again, front wheels on ramps. The rubber/plastic molding around rear doors opening has shrunk but I've only seen droplets in that area before on the left rear.
While it is leaking, use a brown or blue paper towel. Press it flat on the carpet starting next to the known location that water pools. The part that gets wet will guide you toward the leak.
