Could be one of the grommets in the bulk head has had it or your windscreen could be leaking

yes i agree, 1 of your drainage gromets has probably come loose or damaged, its in the compartment where your front window wiper is, i had a cable touching it once and the water was draining onto the cable and running down it and into the car where it entered, once it gets there it touches the carpet and soaks into it at that point. hope this helps, Dave P ...

Yup, first thing to try are the drainage holes in the bulk head, there should be two at each wing side and they usually get full of leaves and cr@p so then water builds up in there.

I have had this problem for over a year now and I think its finally sorted. For ages I couldn't work out where it was coming in, then I noticed water dripping on my feet as I was driving up a hill, since having engine re build (when they also filled craks and holes in bulkhead and pained engine bay) It (so far) hasn't leaked. So I'd say check this out too.
