If you suspect a leak through the firewall, check where the hood pull cable exits.

With an '89, I found that the drain hole at the base of the metal in the engine compartment (booster side) had been plugged with body caulk at the factory. Causing water to pool and enter through the hole(s) there.

Dig or drill out the caulk. Check the passenger side too.
