Had exactly the same problem today on a 2015 F Type after washing - water running down the inside of the n/s lens. o/s is fine. Pulled off the rear cap and used the hair dryer to clear it. Got some odd looks from passers by... Gave the silica gel pack on the inside of the cap a blast from the hair dryer for good measure. The vent looked clear, so suspect I may have a seal leak between the lens and the body, If the problem re-occurs I might try running a bead of silicon sealant along the join. Thanks to all for the previous posts on this.

I used clear Uhu glue on previous miscellaneous cars with leaking headlamp seams with success.
