Default Water leaking inside driver floor

My XF11 has been out for quite some time and it has been raining profusely.
I have noticed that there was water on the driver floor and also rear passenger floor. It seems the draining system is blocked either on the engine compartment or the trunk. Can anybody guide me as where to look. I have not found anything that resembles a hose or drain pipe.

Quite likely to be the sunroof drain. Try opening up the sunroof fully. Are the drainage channels blocked? Often it's the drain tube itself and you need to blow compressed air through it to clear it. Although I seem to remember it's hard to get to

Other option is a smoke test, which can be done cheaply. You can even rent the machines. Just put in the car, shut the car with the machines running/you will soon find the source of the leak.
