If it pools up in there with the A/C on, then it's a clogged evaporator drain (rubber hose on the RH front of the car that drains the evaporator. It's clogged with debris, clear it out with a wire.

If it leaks only when it rains, it's a seal or windshield/body seam leak.

Dealer's problem, 2002 vehicle, covered by the OEM factory warranty.

I had the same problem, 2000 z28, took to the dealer (still under warranty) and they found the "drain" plugged. The unplugged it and I haven't had any more problems.
