You have a clogged drain in the basin underneath the fresh air vent, under your passenger side windshield wiper. You have to pop the cowl off and get in there and dig out the drain. Probably leaves and debris clogging it up.

Once that drain gets clogged, it forms a little fish tank in there, and finally rises above the rim of the basin. The firewall fittings for wires and hoses are not waterproof, so it sloshes out.
