It is either from the sunroof drain, or the cowl seal at the bottom of the windshield.
Water leak

99.9% sure you have clogged sunroof drains. See my post here from several years ago:
Major water leak....help!
Hey gang- Yesterday we had heavy, steady rain here. Not wind driven and certainly not exceptional, but heavy for 5 or 6 hours. This morning, I got in my 2011 FX35 with only 30,000 miles and got two very bad surprises. First, the battery was dead and the car wouldn't turn over. Second...

I had same Problem. Mine was the Sunroof drains were clolged. Don't shove anything hard into the drain plugs of the Sunroof, as you may disconnect the hose drain that is attached to the Sunroof, then you will have a bigger leak and have to take off the sun visor and those handles above the driver's side and passenger side so you can reattach the sun roof drain hose. So do not use force when using a hangar, You can use something softer and flexible like the oil dip stick.
Open the Sunroof top. Stand up facing the front of your vehicle. To the left and right of the Sunroof channel, they are two tiny holes. If you don't see the holes, they are most likely blocked, try celaing out the corners of the Sunroof track with some wet bounty's, then find the holes with fingers or something like a pencil. After You shove a flexible object down the holes nice and easy, pour some water and vinegar 25% vinegar 75% water down the drains. If it's unclogging the water and vinegar will channel down to the bottom of the car where the fender and door meet under the car and or you will smell it when it comes down the drain/s Do this every year, wether you think you need it or not, trust me, you will save yourself a headache of a soaked, stinky, smelly mildew FX
