Have you had a windshield installed in the car ??? Have you run any wiring through the firewall on the driver's side ???

Common issue is the urethane that seals the windshield has dry-rotted and now leaks water.

I’ve never seen the windshield urethane dry rot. That stuff is nearly indestructible.

I would guess it’s coming through some body filler behind the fender.
