Look around the back of the engine bay, top of the bulkheald, and see if you can see if any water is pooling and draining away. Try spraying a hose over the bonnet and watch where the water drains, etc.

Yes there are 2 drains in the section behind the bulkhead where the wiper motor is, these drains allow any water to drain away through black gromets down the bulkhead side of the suspension turrets. if they are blocked the water will rise and flow into the car via holes in the bulkhead.

Hope this is the problem, easy fix !!
