1998 Mini Cooper, what with today's heavy rain we've had a very slight few drips of water coming from above the accelerator pedal.

Any ideas on what to have a good check of? I'm assuming it's unlikely to be door seal as the drip is confined to very slight dripping now and again just above the accelerator.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Cheers guys!

Sure it's not coming in from bottom or corner of windshield?
Also, if you don't have the rubber bit in place at the rear of the bonnet....that'll let some in the engine bay....and may drip down the clutch/brake locations
You may just be missing a rubber plug in one of the seemingly endless holes in the engine bay.

Also - the fresh air vent pipe comes into that car in that area, and Minis often rust in this area. So... it may be worth having a peap around this pipe - maybe some water is blasting off the wheel and in near the air pipe?
