I do know I have a misty wet windscreen on the inside sometimes...

I've just inspected the plenum covers (as I think they are!!) on the left and right of the car - both bone dry and when I used a makeshift rodding device in the two holes near the gas struts on the left and right I felt no obstruction and it appears all dry. So... am I looking in the right place and maybe there is more to the plenum inspection than this? I know I sound really naive!!!

Also - is this a possible factor? I've just had a new clutch last week and it kind of looks to me like the water is coming in from the general direction of the gearbox (which came out).
Hello - i think you will more likely get a response if you post in the general Technical section below - folk will not generally look in the sticky.
