Wet floor driver's side W126 redux

I see water on the floor just under the brake pedal after a rain. Car sitting in the driveway--not driven, so it isn't wind-forced into somewhere. I did some investigation today, It has been dry for a week, and there is no water in the car. After each of the following checks, I waited an hour or more before proceeding to the next area, just in case it took that long for the leak to show.

I opened the sunroof, and poured a quart or more of water down each drain at the front. No water on the floor.

I poured another half gallon of water on the driver's side cowl area, at the bottom of the windshield. No water on the floor.

I poured more water in the center of the cowl area, where the W/S/W motor and transmission sit. I even ran a hose into this area, making sure to douse the seals on the W/S/W arms. No water on the floor.

Anyone have any ideas where the water comes in? Is there a "typical" water leak that I haven't investigated?
