Also had this problem happen to my X, but only in really heavy downpours. Hasn't happened since cleaning the drains and resealing the vapor barrier.
Third vote for vapor barriers - had this same leak happen on one side when I first got the car - turns out a PO had ripped the vapor barrier and not repaired it.
