Finally started raining here in Sydney over the weekend and whilst driving around I noticed water dripping into drivers footwell most noticable when I depress the clutch. Any ideas on the cause of this? I remember a while back on these forums some discussion about cracking fire walls on the AU manual Falcons causing leaking and stiff clutch operation. How do I check this and what would be the recommended fix? Cheers guys.

That was going to be my guess aswell ( a cracked firewall around the clutch area ).
I haven't personaly had a look at the clutch setup in a manual AU , but i'de gather maybe pull back any carpet around the clutch pedal if needed ? , push the clutch pedal in fully and hard - and while it's pushed in look for any small cracks on the firewall inside the cabin around where the arm of the clutch pedal meets the firewall. Also maybe check on the firewall under the bonnet around the same area. gl
