Water ingress in Picasso facelift
My Picasso tends to collect water on the right side - in the storage behind front right passenger. I can't figure out the source, the door seals are intact.

Re: Water ingress in Picasso facelift
C3 or C4 Picasso? The C3 Picasso has a known problem with blocked scuttle drains The blockage allows water to accumulate just in front of the bulkhead below the windscreen and in extreme cases can flood the engine bay fusebox and cause much harm.
It's a good policy to check them regularly.
I am not sure if this applies also to the C4 Picasso.

Re: Water ingress in Picasso facelift
The C4 Picasso is also well known for water leaking in at the front, there are drains that block up. A neighbour has problems on theirs and recently needed a new heater blower. We had a Xsara Picasso and that collected water under the false floor and I never found where it was getting in. Our first C5 also rained in, there was a design fault so water got in through the air intake and ran down to the driver's floor - fixed with a few mods to the air intake.
