There is a severe water leak on the drivers side only RHD. I have sealed the sun roof, but the leak is still there, any ideas ?

Check the windshield seal - someone with a flashlight under the dash, someone pouring some water over the gaskets.
Is the sunroof drain tube clear?
Radio antenna grommet?
Door seals?
Check under the hood and at the cowl / firewall area - a seal or trim has come loose?
Heater core inside the car - does it smell funny?

One of my 240's had a RH upper windshield corner leak after a windshield replacement. It may take a reseal of the glass to stop the leak. None of my efforts to seal with the glass in place worked.
