Default leaking Fiesta RS1800

hi there got a prob wiv my RS1800.it leaks wen it rains but only on the drivers side,but if its on level ground it doesnt leak.

ive checked and sealed behind the drivers wheel arch and bulk head but it still comes through.

i dnt fink it cud b the heater matrick cos wen i bought it last summer it was bone dry.

if any 1 has any ideas or have had a prob like this i'd love to know where it is cuming from.

thanks andy

I have in the past pulled the carpet back, took out sound deadening and put talcum powder down so you can see where water has run, and get someone with ahose to water the car till you see where it is coming from.
