2016 fiesta water leaking through heater?

Following heavy rain whilst on holiday the drivers footwell carpet is soaked. At first I thought it was due to wet shoes but Upon further investigation the soundproofing and rubber back underlay is also drenched. I've removed as much as I can to dry and then noticed water drops on the heater vents above the transmission tunnel. Is this a known mk7.5 problem and could it be the heater drain hose, designed to prevent this. If so do you know how to access this please?

    As an update, I can confirm this problem is due to a blocked air conditioning overflow pipe. With no further rain, water started dripping from the pollen filter housing again having previously cleared it after a 20 mile drive with the aircon on. Despite my best efforts however, I cannot however locate the pipe to clear it, so it is booked in at my local dealer for next week.

    Could also be heater matrix fault.

    Just had this fixed today at local Ford dealer, gliddon ford. Confirmed air conditioning drain cleared and exhaust heat shield repositioned to prevent further blockages. £50. Drain is in transmission tunnel directly under heater unit and behind exhaust heat shield.
