Ok I went under hood and checked the 3 udders on the drivers side the 2 you can see were clean the one that you cant see that further back was clogged up with leaves so I flicked it back and forth to clean it out and got it un clogged haven't had a chance to get to the one on the passenger side yet started raining again. But from where the water is and the tale tale water lines coming down the kick panel leads me to think its not the udder possibly the hinge needs puttying. need your input.

Hard to find. I found my leak by taping up different areas around top and window areas and applying water until i found it. Udder on passenger side is difficult to get to, battery will probably Have to come out, i doubt that is your problem. My guess is weather stripping along top of windshield where top meets. Tape that area up and apply water, trial and error.
