thanks for all the feedback ..there was leakage from that bloody air vent cover but the main leak was coming from the bulkhead steering shaft bearing bracket...only a rubber foam gasket is used. USING A GARDEN HOSE for this test is very important because water also spills between bonnet and down the bulkhead (engine compartment) ...something that wouldnt happen if u pour directly in the air vent.i used black silastic ..slight overkill but wont never leak..dry carpet is now achieved :)
