Afternoon update, I have found both the rear suspension turrets in the boot are soaking wet too.
Going to have to try and sort them out only problem is they are both rusted all over as is the seem above the drivers side one
This is not looking good

Yes, that's another known leak, I sealed mine from the wheel arch, with sikaflex around the top mount.

The wheel arches look like someone in the past has used black under seal on them, i cant see any seams all i can see is the hole the suspension goes into??

i would take all the carpets out as they are soaking,let them dry out,and i would dry all the boot and check it in a couple of days,you could pour water down the channels of the boot to also see if leaking anywhere else.

Given the rust levels on the suspension is this a replacement job??

I wouldn't replace anything tbh, it's only surface rust.
