    I have the same but wouldn't say it is more than 20ml. I think it sits on the sill & gets swept out when you open the door.

    If your driver door lets water out, it's a good idea to open the other doors too to let them drain before you drive off. Just the way it's designed, but as mentioned is sometimes worse depending on the the slope angle you're on.

    I'd also be having a quick check of the other door drain holes just to make sure they aren't blocked, as you say there is only water coming out of that one door.

    Also, just check the belt mould (along the bottom of the window) is sitting snug against the glass, put the window down and clean the edge of the belt mould as best you can.
    There shouldn't be HEAPS of water getting in there, but if there is, then it should be pretty simple to see how it's getting there
