Fannon, sorry I posted the pic later, I had no camera and finaly I found this picture, shoot a couple of weeks ago.
You have two water drains below the windshield SCUTTLE BOARD, one on the left and one on the right side.
REMEMBER MY CAR IS A LEFT-STEERING CAR!, so in the right side I have the battery, on your car, you should have the windshield washer fluid tank, thats the only difference.
What you have to do is to clean up both water drains, they get obstructed with dry leaves for exampe, is a very common problem.
I dont know if you will have to remove the washer tank, but, try to introduce a wire (a thik one, about 2-3mm) to ckeck if they are obstructed. Afterwords, throw a little of water, those drains should leak at the bottom of the car.
Here is the picture:

It wont be necessary to remove the SCUTTLE BOARD, but you can make a better and full cleaning if you remove them. Check below them, there is also a drain which goes from side to side of the car, clean that one also, and if you remove them, why not clean the polen filter?
Hope that helps, im 99% sure the problem you have is because of those drains!
Good luck pal
Try that first , but if still having problems get back to forum for other possible causes.
