It will most likely be caused by the pollen filter scuttle panel. The seal perishes on them over time and allows water to ingress. Here's a vid clip for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4nCtwFeego Thats a left hand drive focus in the vid.

The first half shows how to change the pollen filter and seal it with new mastic / silicone sealant. The second half shows how to change the air filter which helps the engine get good quality air. It's a 10 minute job to do the pollen filter and reseal the scuttle panel.
