Was gonna say i wouldnt worry too much, iv seen plenty that sound worse lol But if there is a leak then get that sorted first, to me it does sound a little 'tappy' but i would have thought it would sound a bit noisey with the bodies on, and no inlet mani to deaden the noise?

Glass out, any non load bearing inner skin cut out, bonnet skin cut out, race battery located in the car

it might nit be that, whats the problem mate? get that carpet up quick anyway and have a look mate, you wont miss it, there will be a puddle of water about 1cm deep in the foot well sections
