First, taste the water, (yes, I'm serious), if it's sweetish it's got antifreeze in it and is coming from your heater matrix.
If it's not that, has the car ever had a new windscreen?
Mine had the screen replaced, and the seal wasn't good, so it leaked. Only a pin leak, but enough to soak the passenger side footwell.
Removal and resealing the screen cured it.
A decent car glass place will remove the trim around the screen and can then see if it's a thin/poor seal.

Adam, did you identify the source of your leak.
I am in exactly the same boat, type R, when car is left parked in the rain the drivers footwell builds a very big puddle. I have the interior out just now and honestly dont have a clue where it is coming from.
I was thinking it was coming from the bulkhead but I silicon sealed the grommit good.
Windscreen is a possibility but wouldnt have thought so in my case. Possibly a blocked gutter? Blocked scuttle pannel? Door seal?
Think I might talcom powder the area next time it is to rain. Im sick of having to use a sponge to wring out the puddle. Plus I want to put the carpets and rear seats back in.
