Leaks are pretty normal. Water in and oil out, if it doesn't do either it needs taking to a Land Rover specialist to see what's up.

Like any british classic car, if it doesn't leak oil then you need to fill it back up. As for water, if it's not getting in you aren't driving it through a river/in the rain.

Easy.

I see. Haven't been called to look at one, yet.

I believe mine is now shot. Been getting a lot of water in the wells and its obviously been happening for a while becuase when I took the passenger speaker pod off it mostly consists of rust so i'll need to source a new one

without taking more of the dash to bits I believe its coming in through the windscreen hinge/fasteners and that long seal. so first job is to change that. I believe its a case of undo the screen hinges and all along the sides so the roof can be shifted enough to change the seal
