Hi there,

 

Hmm, now I'd initially suggest this was the heater matrix leaking as that's the place for it (UK I'm assuming obviously!), so take a look and try to find exactly where the leak is.

 

As you say it's clean and cold, I'm assuming you do have correct coolant in and that's not just water? (Check expansion bottle to double check your thinking/working!)

 

Inside, underneath the dash on passenger side look for the cover for your cabin air filter. If it's factory it'll be opaque white plastic about the size of a letterbox. Unclip that and take a look, if water pours out then take the filter out and try to locate the leak. That would be the heater matrix though.

I'm unsure if water could get in from the air intakes just below the wiper tray, perhaps check there for any blockages too (Easy to take off that top grill, about 5 or 6 hex screws hold it on, so worth a quick look).

Leak may also originate from rear window wash hose which travels along floor channel below handbrake mount to back door. But centre consol requires removal to check it out.
