If anything like the early mondeo's, it will be from the POLLEN FILTER housing, ie the bit that stays attached to the car, on the flat section.
Remove it and you will no doubt see the gasket has shrunk and lets in water through the gap.
Reseal with LOCTITE 5910 or 5900, or other decent non(hard) setting sealer.
