My zed hasnt been driven for a while about a month actually, this was due to a few things, most serious I found was one of the lower arms where the tension rods bolt on was seriously cracked and hence when i took the TR off the bloody thing fell apart ( will post some pics). Any way now, started no probs but noticed water dripping ( not engine coolant) from the front lower edge passenger side wheel arch, its where the front bumper screws into that like plastic pan just underneath the front edge ???? the car hold temperature ok, but thats only idle, havent driven it as shocks are knackered, also got dampness in the passy footwell, i know one of the door seals has a leak, but this was quite wet. Could it be the heater matrix ???

Does the water smell like coolant? Normally its driver side for a blown matrix but could be in passenger side.

no thats the thing, its odourless. and tasteless for that matter!!! could it be just an accumulation of water resting somewhere ??? but it was quite alot. although have had some seriously heavy rain recently and the car has been sat out innit

check the targa drains are not blocked for the wet passegenger footwell, remove a pillar trim, if there is a leak from the matrix, get the car up to temp and turn heating to max, whilst car is sat at around 4-5k rpm check for any drips. better on an open road when the water pressure is higher.
