Could be or it could be a washer jet, window seal letting in water when it rains
Does it smell of antifreeze or feel "oily"?
Dash out either way I'm afraid

I wouldn't buy anything until you have found the problem. It could be just a loose or perished hose.

There's a great how to in the wiki for dash removal.
I agree with Martin.
It is a rare thing that the matrix is holed.
