RHD car, water dripping from behind glovebox. I can't work out what/where it is coming from. Can anyone tell from the video?

Behind the wing on that side is a drainage port and it may be blocked and rusted causing water to come through

Also make sure your battery is disconnected. Could get a nasty shot from that

If you have rust in the firewall where the vehicle wiring enters the cabin from below the fuse box then you have a real job on sorting it. You will have to remove the carpet, dashboard and loom. Had this same issue ongoing for a while but had it sorted during the lockdown. If leaking for some time then it can rot the floorboards. At another time this would be the death knell for e30's but as they have become more valuable it is worth doing on a good car.

That looks as though it may be the heater valve leaking.

As above, looks like heater valve

Also is that fuel hose I can see?
