Default ST225 leak

I’ve noticed now I have moved house and the car is parked slightly up hill on my drive. The drivers footwell is getting wet. Anyone know of any issues common that let water into the drivers footwell?

Door seal alright?
Door membrane (the sheet of material you have behind the doorcard) can let water in at funny angles if thats been torn (or removed completely)

I had wet foot wells in mine and it was the bulkhead seams and the sealant Ford used cracking. All dry now, but I do get a lot of condensation inside the car this time of year, & ice on the inside. Can't feel any water though.

Did have a wet boot aswell, but that was the boot hinge pockets.
