90% of the cases the problem is the seal that is for the boot. Take it out, put plenty of sealant on the outside part and stick it back into the hole.

Took the covers off the scuttle and played some water down to simulate rain.
I think it i coming in from a hole in the silver paintwork behind / between the two screws that hold the bonnet release lever mechanism in place.
So I put insulation tape over it and put the black plastic 'cross' under the lever back in the position with the longer end pointing up.
Ironically now just waiting for it to rain to see it this is the cure for my car's water leak.

I had this soddin leak when I got mine. I had the front wing off. No joy. Took the screen out. again no joy.
The only way I stopped it was to spray dinitrol (the black hard wax) coating up and around the corner in the engine bay. I am sure the body has a stress crack.
I tried everything to find the leak. Only way was the coating, up side is it'll never go rusty there!!!

Hi GT,
Do you mean the corner in around the fusebox and where the drains are for the scuttle, ( as opposed to around the strut tower ? )
Under the bonnet release catch, the higher of the two multi earth points, the head of the bolt was very rusty from the constant water running down accrues it over a long time.
So it is getting in somewhere 'above' and showing itself there ?
Thanks.

Could be ^^
Did you ever see the thread I put up about water leaks in my avant? There was a leak between two panels in the scuttle drain area, the seam sealer had shrunk back or never been that good in the first place.

I've had this problem before in a similar area, can you check the seal\grommet where the bonnet release cable comes through the bulkead?
That's where mine was leaking and the rain ran down the cable and dripped onto the floor.1996 Audi S6 Avant.
