Default 147 Water Leak, Advice needed?

I have a 147 1.6TS Nov 2003 R hand drive.
With the recent heavy rainstorms I have water coming into the Front
passenger footwell via , it appears, the heater outlet.
Where is the water drain for the heater air intake situated?
I think this could be the cause although with the ferocity of some of the
downpours it could just be too much rain overwhelming the system.

I had a similar leak in the passengeer footwell of my RHD 147.
Pressure washer found it rather than rain though.

Garage looked at it and found a leak under the n/s wheel arch. Your's
should still be in the manufacturers 24 month warranty. Get your
dealer to water test it?

Cheers

Thanks for that PhillipS, I will get the dealers to check this out when it
goes in for it's 12,000 mile service shortly.
