I need some help looking for possible causes of this leak. This happened over the weekend I assume as I only noticed it on Monday. The car was not driven over the weekend and after rain the past couple days it's getting wetter.
The car is a 2004 Audi A6 1.9 TDI SE
The battery compartment appears to drain ok
Here is a picture of the pedal area, I've highlighted in blue the areas which are wet/damp the more blue there is the wetter it is.
Underneath the bonnet, there is this area which was full of gunk and dead leaves, which I attacked with a hoover:
It was a lot worse than those pictures before. This is apparently the bonnet release cable, filling this area with water, it did take a while to drain off, however after hovering it as best as I could, it seems to flow fine now. Water is still finding it's way into the car though.
Is there any other likely things I can check? It's defiantly water from outside the car as it's only wetter / worse after it's been raining.
Many thanks!
I found a blocked drainage hole, which wasn't much water there but that's now unblocked but I'm still getting water inside the car. I've tracked it to this bit here:

Does anyone know what it is?
