This happned to a friend of mine in the passenger footwell
It was somehow coming through the bulkhead from the engine and was all oily as well.

Definitely just water
And seems to have dried up, but I'll be keeping an eye on it. It's a brand new bloody car as well.

His was an ancient 205
Sun roof maybe/ Mine leaks on one side the the water runs along the rails and drips exactly where my head is when I drive.

I found this out on my way to a meeting when i decided to pop in and use a car wash, bastard car.

No sun roof.
We've had far heavier rain than we had the other night and it hasn't been affected. Can't see any evidence of where it might have come from so hopefully it's a one-off freak occurence.

/hopes.

Mine did that once
it was the foam casing stuff around the door edge that was coming away and so when it rained heavily it all ran down the window and down the plasticy inside door bit and pooled on the carpet, the door interior dried so just the carpet was sopping wet, it took me ages to figure it out.

I had that problem (among numerous others) with my Laguna
Where it was parked outside the house, the ground sloped slightly to the left. So when it rained, the water coming out of the drain holes in the driver's door flowed into the car instead of out onto the sill.

Poor design - it should have been made such that the hole was actually outside the sill rather than right on top of it.

It's also possible that the leak is coming in from the bulkhead, and dripping down under the dashboard into the footwell. It's a bugger to trace leaks.

Try sprinkling cress seeds into the footwell, where they grow best wil be the source of the leak

No
Where they grow best is the place where the water ends up, not where it comes in.
