I rodded it, it was blocked, and a lot water came out with some force. With the help from Member's here I at last found this drain point so I hope that will help others. I've yet to find any drain hole on the Driver's side of the scuttle/plenum under the wiper motor. I'll see now (rain is forecast) if there is any more ingress and report back.

There is another drain hole on the driver side 'hidden' below the servo, you can rod it with a small bottle brush on the end of a flexible wire (old fashioned plastic covered curtain wire will do it) - these both drain below the car near the sub frame via a couple rubber pipes with flapper valves on the ends. On a Mk1 there are two other drains located above the front wheel arch each end of the plenum chamber; on a Mk2 the O/S drain was deleted (the hole for it wasn't, MGR just put a rubber blanking plug in it) - these drain into the front wheel arch void via short tubes with 'duck bill' valves on their end.
