One or more of the fresh air vent ducts could have come off
take the dash off and take a look?

Is your foot cold? The throttle pedal lever can be a bit draughty too.

that sounds like a pipe that has come off the airbox not the back of the airvent, again a rummage with a torch between the steering wheel collumn and the gearstick. For a bit better access you can remove the cover behind the gearstick
