	mine had a leaky heater valve which soaked the passenger side footwell, one of the early cars with the heater valve inside the dash. Yours is probs in the engine bay though?? took about two weeks with it balanced on a radiator to dry the foam out, still wasn't dry but it was dry enough for me I have heard that the bottom corners of the windscreen seal can leak, no details though

	I was thinking more along the line of sunroof pipe? The pipes that come from the sunroof tray. In the e30 these were problematic. Difficult to get to though.
