You're sure it's water and not coolant ? Those heater hoses are a common leak point. Just asking. Otherwise if it is just rain water, I would inspect that cowling gasket for tears over that area. That's the only way water can get up on top of the motor.

I am with Hamfisted on this on. The coolant lines to the heater core and connecting lines to rear heater are over three and four.
One really obscure possibility is the windshield washer lines. They run under the cowling and T off to the PAX spray nozzle then to driver's side.

I had a similar problem with my 02 4.6. eventually i found a large stiff piece of plastic and put it over the rear of the engine up against the cowling and the problem went away. I could not find a problem with the weather strip.

Yeah I had the same issue when we replaced the 8 pcs spark plugs. We used air compressor to blow out the water from the spark plug well. I'll check this weather strip gasket if there's leak in it. Thanks!
