Down in the corners of the bulkhead tray.
They are in the far left and right corners about 2" in diameter and will have a rubber sleeve going down about 5" long and tapered at the bottom.
One is easy to spot (DS) but the other will be under the Management unit and out of sight.
Need to unbolt the 'MU' and move slightly out of the way.
I had this problem last summer when I had a paint job done by VW, they put the car through the car wash the Burke's and the whole floor pan filled up with water.
I could of keep fish in it!

door drain holes clear them out with a rod
top of chassis leg, small hole that should be covered by tape but most likely isn't any more.
after that, take the carpet out (really not difficult). sprinkle of talc then get your better half your mate to spray the car with a hose, look for the leak.
it is normally the drain holes in the scuttle as said previously.

do you park on a hill?
as said, carpet out and sprinkle of talc to look for the leak. quickest way.

hes right though you need the carpet out to dry it off firstly, then to visually see the leak, which you will if theres as much water as you say.

they need to be strung in, if the seal doesn't flick over correctly they will leak, this can be checked easily.
they then need a gentle tap at the corners to pop the seal back tight to the frame. this usually gets ignored or forgotten. seen one guy use a rubber mallet, I prefer the heal of my hand. this would be the first thing to look at for me.

If it isn't that then look at the speaker wires to the doors, assuming you haven't got gaitors then the cable needs to loop down and up in the open door jam so that water can drip off. Still most likely as has been said above though.
