Vauxhall Corsa C - Water in passenger footwell - millerman

Hi
My girlfriend owns a 54 plate Corsa 1.2l We have noticed that after a bit of rain, the next time she drives the car water sloshes into the passenger footwell when turning left for the first couple of corners. After a few left turns this stops, can you offer any advice on sorting this out please?
Thanks

Assuming it's rain water and not a leaking heater matrix then water in footwells is usually leaves and other debris blocking drains in the bulkhead area in engine bay. Look around battery and washer bottle area and make sure they're clean. Also pollen filter could have been changed poorly or the cover not reseated correctly - see fitting instructions here: http://www.puravent.co.uk/filters/display_filter.php?id=94&part=M2176
