We have a water leak in our 2005 Vauxhall Corsa - do you have any idea what's causing it?

We have a 2005 Vauxhall Corsa 1229cc which, over the past twelve months, has developed a water leak into the driver's side front well. Have you heard of this problem before? And where might the leak be coming from? Is there a remedy?

Yes. It can suffer water ingress through bulkhead because the brake master cylinder is bolted to a plate that is bonded to the bulkhead. This bonding fails, allowing water into the car. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/vauxhall/corsa-c-200...d
