This sounds very similar to the problem I had.  Both on my YJ and my dad's YJ the joint on the body between the cowl and the start of the vertical portion to the windshield frame leaked.  We both just ran a bead of silicone and it fixed the problem.

Don't use any old silicone it will cause rust to start. You can buy an automotive type silicone that suppose to not cause rust, but.....
