Can anyone help me with this leakage problem?

Okay so I have a leakage problem that no one can find. The leak is falling on my fuse box under my dash on the driver side so it's causing all kinds of problem Te Acura dealer fixed my car but they said the leak is still there but they don't where and they don't cover that or have ppl specialize in that . Just to let everyone know my car has never been into an accident and it's not a precious flood vehicle. Okay with that said I have an after market alarm
On my car and also and amp and subs. I was thinking maybe the water was going in thru the firewall where the amp wire is going thru. They took out this rubber seal that goes on there for them to pass the wire thru. Anyone else with an amp having this problem? I'll try to take a picture tomorrow
So you guys can see. Anyone have any insight in this or had this problem and found the leakage? Thanks for any help

Sometime blocked drainage (run off) lines/channels can cause a problem like this.

If you haven't checked that yet, you should.

Check your driver side sun roof drain. Just run a wire or something down it to push out any debris. Then you can pour a little water down the drain to see if it drains properly.

Open the sunroof and look in the front corner, they should be on either side.

the drainage line is not one continuose line, it has breaks init. meaning theres fittings that connect the drainage together. if you blew compressed air, youre risking the fittings coming undone. second if you did pour water on the left(drivers) drainage and nothing came out under the car, then where do you think the water went to? i believe the drainage empties behind the fenders.
it is very important you find this leak or ask the dealer to perform such test while you watch. water is a nightmare, a nightmare that can and usually turns pricey.
good luck

I poured water down the drain and I didn't see any water coming out by the fuse box..would I have to remove the fender to see if the water is pouring out? Also it's raining really hard in nj and my car is still working fine. The dealer put silcone around the fuse box so that might be helping out. This is so complicated. If the problem isn't that one drain where else should I look? The guy from water doctor said I have a lot of body seams. What does that mean?
