Leaking In - Front Footwells

2003 996tt

I seem to be having a problem with water getting into the vehicle, both front footwells are wet.

I've checked the drain holes under the hood underneath the scuttle panel and cleaned them out, I also have a quick look at the front bulk head to see if there were any grommets not fit correctly. I've also pulled the door panels off to check that the door is sealed up without any rips.

Is there any other common places where these leak water in??

Have it in my garage at the moment stripped down and a heater blower drying her out.

Any help in tacking down this leak greatly appreciated

Cheers
Westy

Is it wet under the carpet (behind the pedals) on the firewall or can you see water marks like if it was coming in from under the wiper area and down the firewall?

It is wet under the floor carpets but not just the drivers side, both sides are wet. I've also cleaned the drain holes under the hood.

Anywhere else these things rain in??

Checked.
1. Drain Holes
2. Door Panels
3. Door Seals fitted correctly

Where does the A/C condensation go in these cars? I had this in my eBay range rover classic...was a plugged A/C draining line.

I have the same problem on passenger side only. I pulled the undertray segments off and couldn't find anything there either.
