Noticed that the under bonnet insulation is very wet , I'm assuming it must be getting in through the scoop perimeter join rather than the scoop hole itself.
seems wetter on the right .
Is there a rubber seal?
Cheers

 

Yes rubber seal attached to the underside of the bonnet on the N/S

What would I search for?
your saying rubber for bonnet seal?
I was thinking scoop seal

 

Not unless water blows forward. The seal is under the bonnet you can see it squashed and deformed on your picture.

Lots for sale in USA.

Probably just as easy/cheaper to buy some glazing foam tape or similar. (as used for rear spoiler sealing).
Here are the UK/Europe part numbers
