Question leaking cowl?

I think my cowl may be leaking. After a rain, or even a washing, there is water on the drivers side floor. It seems to be dripping from under the dash. How would one fix a leaky cowl?

If it is anything like my truck, it was rusted through the cowl behind the dash AND stuffed full of pine needles behind the vent on the driver's floor. I fixed the first problem with red RTV, which may be the only way to fix it unless you want to break out the MIG welder and weld a small plate over the rusted area.

Did you have to take the dash completely apart to find/repair the leak?

Thanks

It could also be the gasket behind the windshield wiper post. But mine is from rust
