98' ranger leaking water through cowl

I pour water in the cowl and I have a small stream coming from the e break area way up in the corner. The truck is pretty rust free so I doubt its a rust issue. Any ideas? Thanks

I noticed this morning that the passenger side is leaking to but not as bad as the driver side. We had hard rain over night

Most likely leaking around windshield. If it's been replaced it was probably improperly sealed when put in place.

I would think that but water is not touching the windshield. I'm pouring water directly into the cowl vent.

Thanks! that thread is exactly the problem I'm having. My next thought is how is the water even getting in the cab? What a dumb *** design!

Ok...so I removed the inner fender and I cant see nothing. The cowl drain is to far up between the fender to even get my hand up there. Also today I put the garden hose right over the cowl vent for about 5 min. and both the pass. And driver side seems to be draining just fine but I'm still getting a small stream of water inside the cab. I think its beggen for a forsale sign.
