Check that your scuppers under the main hatch are actually draining and not backing up and down into the bilge.

I had rain water leaks from the pilot house engine vents on Starboard side.
I did a detailed write up on the problem and the fix on this thread:

I have a flush deck and the caulk around the deck covering the fuel tank was bad and leaking into the bilge. I simply pulled out the old caulk and recaulked.
