When I had this it was the grommet on the bonnet release that had perished. Pig of a job to replace, easy fix to silicon seal the area. Used plenty, as it was behind the front SAM and is invisible unless you use a powerful torch and remove the top of the SAM. The day before I did it I had a 3" puddle in the drivers foot well, in all the rain we've had recently it's been bone dry. The give away was the odd water drop falling off the release handle when I had a look hours after the ingress.

Do you have a cabin pollen filter? Check it and it’s drains.
