Could be the plenum, were the vent is between the bonnet and windscreen. I've heard of them rusting out on x-series.

its most likely the plenum. they rust out and water comes straight in. depending on how much you like your xf its probably easier to buy another one.

big job to fix, and very expensive if you cant do it yourself.

while its pretty common, not all do it, ive had 4 or 5 xf's, and only had two do it.

rust around the windscreen frame can also cause leaks too.

preventative maintenance helps, pull the guards off and make sure all drain vents are free flowing, and not blocked with leaves.

and absolutely cover everything in fish oil
