So I have had the car back on the road for a week now. Had a blown radiator, swapped mine out for one from a 95 (which oddly used to be mine as well a couple of years ago) and have no leaks from the cooling system.

HOWEVER. This past Sunday we got HAMMERED with some serious thunder showers, the Jag was setting outside during the storm. After an hour or 3 it let up. I ran to the car so I could head home. Got in, fired it up, threw it into gear and started to drive forward. Once I hit the brakes, water poured out from under the dash and into my lap.

Seems I remember this happening to my MG when I had that too. Anyone have this issue? Or know what or where it could be coming from?

 

Through the windscreen seal which may have dried out, or through the blower motors inlet in the well each side of the windscreen wiper motor unit. Check that the drains down from this area each side of the engine that go into the wheelarch are unblocked. You need to remove the wiper unit to get at these.

The seal doesn't look too bad to me. I was considering replacing the windscreen anyway because 25 years of debris has made it not so clear to see through anymore when it's raining. Headlights made it look like a sheet of white... But I will check the drain ports, thank you.
