Water in drivers footwell

Hi guys

I found some water in the footwell and traced it to the batter box, that's been welded, seam sealed, painted then an little extra silicone to make sure she doesn't leak again

But then next rainy day there's still more water in the well, not as much this time but is there any other hole common to be on the drivers side bulkhead?does the scuttle have any access to the cabin?as I do need to repair that but I can't put my carpet in until the leak has stopped

Thanks guys

Or the grommet on the clutch pipe too

Mine had been pushed inwards and was leaking a fair bit

or the plastic lining behind the door card, it was the case with mine as someone retro fitted electric windows and did not put the plastic back so well.

Or this, or that, or the other!
Get some talcum powder sprinkled around and learn for sure where the water's coming in.
Test, not guess!
