I had a water leak start today while driving through rain, it is dripping into the front of the footwell next to the transmission tunnel. Does anyone have an idea of the likely suspect ?

Maurice,
Have you cleared out the debris from the corners of the Heater plenum chamber and two drainage pipes.
I think there is a section in the Technichal Manual here on WATER DRAINAGE.
Keep safe

One of the drainage hoses may be missing, not attached, or broken. I replaced mine years ago - if at this stage they are still the original ones (in any Pagoda) then it's a good idea to at least inspect and consider replacing.
