I think this might work...

The Blue is where the water runs off into the inner guard.
The Red is where the seam sealer was over, but is now cracked. Does the Red go into the cabin? or does it go into the plenum (where the water runs into from the windscreen)

It would be the red bit letting in water,but simple enough to test. Add a small quantity of water, then see where it goes.

To be honest, it shouldn't look like that. Have a look at another car and compare, maybe visit a wrecker?

What is the history of this car, has it had a shunt on that side?

[Garry]

I think it has had an accident on that side. The car makes some rattling noises that i can't find.

The drivers side is almost the same but it has less goo. I'll get the bonnet off this week and chip out the old stuff and use some sikaflex on the seams.

Yes, just what I thought. A bad repair job. Rust there just isn't normal for a Magna.

You could just keep covering the cosmetic surface damage and try to keep the water out, but for a permanent fix, the bonnet and guards need to come off, rust removed, opened seams fixed, and fresh paint.

Time to see a crash repairer for some expensive fixing?
