Have you tried resealing the Brake Fluid resevoir on the driverside inside bonnet above wheel arch, as this seal can go and hard to notice.
Otherwise your usuals where wires/pipes enter from engine Bay.

Edited to add:-
Windscreen wipers, where they are bolted through body.
Steering rack.
Any holes on inside of wheel arch especially behind chassis cross member where stones can get trapped, Waxoyle.
Door seal, Broken some where.
And found this in the search engine

Small thin dog you stuff into the cracks to keep the rain out?
I have heard that the seal around the master cylinder is a common culprit. But the rubber door seal must also be suspect.
In really heavy rain I assume that air vortices are likely to force water in all down the front of the door, if there are any weak areas around there I reckon it would work it's way in.
I have had similar, untraceable wetness through last winter and cannot find any other obvious cause.
On my Griff I had two principle leak areas into the drivers foot-well.
The rubber door seal, a small amount of water always seeps in from the front edge, along the windscreen and at the corners, this then runs down the inside edge of the seal to the bottom and spills over on inside. The fix for this is to “Pinch and Glue” the seal. This is done usually at two positions along the bottom part of the seal a few inches from each end and about an inch long (mine was done by TMS under warranty). Inject Evostick into the seal and then pinch the seal together until it sets. Once done the water runs round the inside as before but then out through the new gap at the bottom of the door.
The inner wing area, water is washed over the inner wing and seeps through the joints with the brake reservoir, grommets etc. It is very difficult to tell if these seals are broken or not. If your experiencing leaks then the best option is to remove the seals and grommets, clean the area and reseal it all with silicone.
Whilst investigating my leaks it noticed that water had been running down the bulkhead onto the steering column bearing assembly, which was showing some signs of rust, it turned out to be only the fasteners and the bearing itself was fine.
Cheers,
Simon.
