It's funny, I just had this same problem!

It's the antenna hole, mine was replaced with a new antenna that didn't
quite seal right. The water travels down the antenna wire and drips out
from there.

Unfortunately, everything else is getting wet too :-(

I need to get a "original" antenna with the shaft. The aftermarket one
didn't have the shaft and so it didn't really hold correctly. I used
some plumbers putty to seal it up until I can find the right antenna.

Cheers,
Harry
