So far the following checked out ok:
all 4 sunroof drains, fresh air vent drain, rear windows, door seals, transmission mounting bolts, wheel arch seams, crossmember.
The carpet and insulation are all dry now and have remained dry with all the wet short drive and 30 mins of "water leak test" at a local indy shop. Also saw a pair yellow turbo 993 and 996 at the shop, one of which is a rennlist PPI for a canadian buyer.

good luck with your search.

This is sort of a bump to revisit this topic to see if there are any new perspectives on this.
I would never drive in the rain unless I had to with my car but then I had to get the job done and finish a rennlist transaction on a rainy day. After imagining I'm at Spa going down the freeway at 75mph I started to horse around with my car while I waited for the fellow rennlisters to show up.
The rain had stopped and I was digging under my drivers floor mat for some reason and noticed a little water. It seemed to have come from nowhere.
After reading this thread with it's excellent info these cars seem like complete sieves! I hate to think our cars are accumulating vast amounts of water unknowingly. I feel I need to proactively check my entire car now.

I think it's more proof to keep my car outta the rain. I really don't mind the upper surfaces getting wet. It's all of the road sludge that gets imbedded underneath that I hate cleaning out. So I just don't go out in the rain. Which right now in CA means 364 days a year. Can you say ant invasion. :-(
