Thanks for all of the responses and after reading them I realized I wasn't very descriptive about where the water is. It was scattered about on the floor probably 1/2 dozen places (all away from the garage doors and none near where the car was parked). There is no obvious damage to ceiling or walls. I believe all locations were near the contraction joints in the floor.

When you install gutters the water problem will probably go away. Also, you may want to put some sealer in the concrete openings, but just where they are by the doors, so water from outside won’t flow into the garage.
