If it's the first edition Cooper then it's highly likely to be the door seal and potential missing spot welds on the section at the far rear lower box section just above teh door sill.

Is it 2nd gen? We have had quite a few 2nd gen with a lake under the passenger carpet 3cm deep!!

its 1st gen and it seems to be running down the back of the glove box from above so really not sure were its coming from.

what to do is get inside your car and get a pal to pour a kettle of water over the front wind screan and door and see if you can find out where it is leaking from that way

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think the heater matrix is located up in behind the glove box. These can sometimes leak and cause a puddle in your footwell. Does the water smell of coolent or is it just plain rain water. Would be worth having a quick check of your coolent level in the expansion tank and make sure you haven't lost any water.
