Check your intake water ‘duck bill’ valves, there are three they are often clogged up and wet and will draw in wet air and cause this too. Take them out if they aren’t already, clean and replace. No Guts, No Glory.

This! Once they are blocked it turns the interior into a steamy sauna!

Locate the fan air intake, open bonnet and follow ducting. Feel underneath and you’ll feel the first one, then the other two are a bit further down just before the foam seal into the fan assembly.

Worth checking the gap there too, the foam should be a nice seal between the two but often there is a gap. Mine had this, can cause leaks and draw in warm engine air. No Guts, No Glory.

Not sure if we talking about the same thing, I had a blocked drain in the wing air intake duct, so took off grill, scooped the muck out, and poked my finger through the drain at the bottom, it has a rubber grommet type thing that discharges under the wing. Its something you need to keep a check on yearly, more so if you park under trees.
