Cowl area allows in debris (leaves, needles, etc.) plugs drains then water backs up into the cabin areas. Also, some windshield seals become damaged or not secure in the corners and allow water to penetrate the area around the windshield. Rubber wipers on windows become brittle and if door does not have clear drains the water will go somewhere.
There is also wiper motor seals that become compromised.

Redwood chair said it somewhere that the water always wins - we just try and slow it down some.

There is a great thread on the board about using some aftermarket rubber seals to seal the wiper motor.
 
Small chance there is a hole/rust on the underside of your car and the powerful jets of water hit it just right. I know I have a mostly rust free 91' 744 and even that car has a small hole on the floor.

Got ya. Remove the cowl and take a look. See if there is crap bunched up in there. Leaves etc. Clean it out.

I took the cowl off my 740 to repair that little bit of metal mesh that helps keep larger things out of that area. I don't have any leaks but I did notice on the passenger side, there is a long plastic cover that is supposed to me decently flush with the cowl and that was sloping downward on one side. The adhesive, over time, had given up. So anything like that which would direct water towards your car should be addressed. Good luck!
