it appears that the water is getting between the inner and outer skin and running along/under the tunnel of the sill.

So, with the car facing uphill, and running water on the top of the left side of the bonnet, water somehow from the front of the car and pools in the rear footwell.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

New to me 996TT (came from a 72 911T), seemed to have water leak from behind the front wheel (there see to be a drain hole?) and its dripping from there (drivers side)
Doesn't smell / feel like coolant. Was out today in it, running the aircon at 18.
Any ideas?
TIA

From behind the front wheel is a weird one, in front would be your driver's side front rad. I take it you mean on the right hand side when you say driver's side (ie. a RHD car)?
Make sure it's not the usual TT issue, leaking front clutch reservoir - its the little reservoir with the green top.
They leak from there when there's an issue with the clutch accumulator (on top of the gearbox).
Hopefully it's just your AC
I have a very similar issue, non-sunroof car (RHD 2004) but it's on the passenger side. Finally found how water is getting in and its from this.
Any idea what the bung is used for and, why it leaks there? And more importantly, how to stop it leaking!
Happy to start a new thread if its detracting from the OPs
Eta. Is not coming from the drain tube, rather from behind it so probably needs sealing somehow
So, as an update to the last post. it appears that the water is getting between the inner and outer skin and running along/under the tunnel of the sill.
So, with the car facing uphill, and running water on the top of the left side of the bonnet, water somehow from the front of the car and pools in the rear footwell.
Rubbish explanation but hope it makes sense.
