Jaguar S-Type leaking water - how can I fix it?

My 2006 Jaguar S-Type has started leaking water in the front footwell. Any idea what the cause could be?

Either the outer door seal has failed or the waterproof membrane inside the door between the door structure and the trim had perforated. Or it's not coming in through the door at all and is entering via the pollen filter because the bulkhead vent well drains are blocked.
