more likely water ingress, how about trying to dry it out and then dusting talcum powder around to see if you can locate its path - may give you a better idea where to look, even if it does smell like a boudoir for a few days (looking at the weather forcast this week)

If its definately not the rear washer pipe, then try a water test, by sitting in the car and getting someone to fire water at the whole area until the leak appears obvious, remove carpet first. I did this on a Mondeo I once had and it was pouring in from a door seal that didn't appear all that obvious and not even a dealer could locate it ! :5:

My escort leaks from the bottom door seal - its not at all obvious when its not raining although talcing the floor area made one glance enough to see the problem so if you don't have someone to help try it this way

Found my leak on drivers side footwell. After doing all the checks mentioned on the forum, scuttle drains, trim clips etc, it was the drain pipe from the sunroof. It appears to have come away right up in the roof lining where it fixes to the sunroof. It was running down the inside of the trim by the 'A' pillar and then down to the footwell. There were no tell tell marks on the out side of the trim to indicate water was running.

just havn,t got a sunroof mate so can rule that one out
