More than likely screen leaking. Maybe a new seal required but could need frame welding.

As a start it's an idea to get on your back on cab floor and look up behind dash. Sprinkle talcum powder over as much of the area as you can. You'll not find the leak but you'll smell lovely!!!
Seriously though, if you then spray front of van with a hose you'll see where the water (if it comes in) washes off the talc. You can then isolate the general area.
Possible areas are:
seams
screen seal
washers
wipers
roof
flashers
Yes, you've guessed, it could be anywhere at the front, process of elimination I suppose!!! The talc trick just helps isolate the area.
Hope this helps.
(I'd still put my money on screen seal area though).
