I had water leaking into the car as well, and found that the heater hose was causing it. Hot water from the cooling system comes in through a hose in the firewall to heat your air in the dash, then goes back out through another hose back to the motor. As my car is old, and I live in the tropics and don't use the heater, I just cut the two hoses on the engine side of the firewall, and joined them together to recreate the loop, bypassing the heater in the dash. No more water in the car or musty smell either.
