Vauxhall Corsa 1.2litre Sxi March 2006 - Water leak inside car - Balalign

Following its MOT the gaiter on the front nearside suspension anti roll bar link ball joint was replaced as it was split. Shorlty afterwards I noticed water leaking into the interior of the car, collecting on the carpet of the nearside/passesnger side foot-well area. As this seemed more than a coincidence I spoke to the garage in question however they said the leak has nothing to do with the work that they carried out. We also checked the drainaway gutters below the ventilation grilles near the engine area for blockage of leaves; a possible cause of the leak, which was found to be clear.

Could anyone tell me if repairs of this nature would cause a leak to the interior?

No, not really possible.

Does your car have air con, if so ensure that the water drain pipe isn't blocked or dislodged as at this time of year a lot of water will flow from this when air con is on and will back up and drip into the interior.

Leaks in the passenger footwell are a common problem on Corsa C models. It leaks through the body control module which is a big black box on the passenger side of engine bay. I sealed around mine a couple of years ago with silicon and been fine since. Google it.
