Disregard prior msg. Just saw that it’s melting ice.
Water can seep in under the cowl that spans the bottom of the windshield - particularly when the cowl ages and it not as pliable to make a good seal. It should drain through the ports behind the fender wells. This is pretty normal stuff. What specifically is concerning?

Considering there is snow in the engine compartment I would think its still the engine partitions. I would double check that you installed them correctly. Pour water on top to check for leaks.
Also maybe the seal at the bottom of the windshield(part# 51717151969)? I'm not sure off the top of my head if that would leak into the partition tray or below it though. |

Thank you for answer 😁. I think like you said about windshield cawl is old and sealing isn't good so water leaks under him. But if it does'n make any problems it's all good.👍
