Be aware that the water travel down the drivers side inner fender. If this fails the water will go to the next available place such as the blower moter and from the vent box onto the passengers side. A leak on the drivers side often does not mean anything is clogged in the drain system.

You have a leak somewhere on the inner fender. There is a plastic plug that is for an unused airvent, there are also several rubber bushings for cables and wires. Take off the plastic trim from the outside of the drivers footwell and the knee shield. Swamp the hood drain channel, inner fender and firewall with water. The leak should reveal itself. After that it is time to grab some bathroom caulk and fix the leak.

No need to take the cowl of again.

P.S I used gorilla glue to hold my mesh on. Betcha that sucker doesn't come off again.
