Is the water smelly/oily?

How about the heater core? (The heater box etc are located behind the dash on the passenger side.)

Cheers

Chris

This is probably a small chance, but make sure all the firewall grommets that cables pass through are properly seated. If not this then I would definitely be looking inside the car for the source - Its probably originating from your radiator in some fashion - are you losing water???

Check this out it could be the same thing I had going on, provided you are using your air con.

Garage traced it from were the ECU is bolted to the near side front, up to the corner of a seam near the windscreen, it's lucky I had cut out for the dash speakers last year, because he would'nt have had the view as seen in the pic

have'nt put the carpets back yet, I'll wait till it rains so to give it real test
He's also had the hosepipe on it non-stop for 15 minutes and there's no sign of it leaking
