Seems your VTEC has leakage. That's it. Check the windshield sealant for bubbles. If necessary, replace sealant. Usually, OHC doesn't spring leakages unless;

a) The car is parked under the sun whole day long, or
b) The car was involved in some mishap damaging the A/B/C pillars.

Also, check the firewall. There could be chances that the brake booster mounts/clutch cable packing/throttle cable packing have gotten loose. There are chances that the water might be entering from under the hood as well.
