That's usually the area where the input/output water hoses go through the firewall into the cabin area.

I've had a leak in the same area and it turned out to be a stopped up or out of position drain tube for the air conditioner evaporator.

hi woodchuck thanks for ansering is that part easy to get to just so i can rule that out
as i dont have the a/c working mite need regasing going to kwickfit to test it
soon just keeps raining so cant do anythig just yet cheers gary

If your A/C is not working then it wouldn't be producing any water. So that's probably not it.
