Water in the hood well

[skippyfox]

On a whim, bought a 03 plate C70 ragtop a couple of months ago. Not bad condition and runs very smooth. Today decided to give the old girl a clean and have a bit of a tinker with it. (on going project) When I popped the hood half way to get rid of some fallen foliage from the seams, the well that the hood stows into had a few inches of water in. Used a sponge to get most of it out and had a feel under the drive motors to see if there was a drain hole or similar. Felt what seemed to be a rubber/plastic disc with holes in it, presume to be the same as the ones at the rear of the roof well. are these a drain hole? And where do they drain to, is this a problem with the car that is an easy fix? Only paid £800 for the car, but to me it has a lot of potential, runs really well, no serious bodywork issues and the interior is in fairly good nick for it's age. Just in need of a bit of TLC. A nice car I'd like to keep looking good and on the road. Thanks in advance for any advice.
