Probably a blocked drain tube for the interior air intake. You can fish a
soft wire (I use 12-14 gauge copper wire) down from above. Look inside the
air box below the small chrome grill just in front of the windscreen. There
is a drain tube on the right side.
Alternatively, you can raise the car up and find the lower end of the tube
above the front of the gearbox. It should have a bulb with a slit. If there
is water inthe air box or drain tube, you get a face full when you find it
and clear the drain.
