Make sure your condensate drain (for your A/C) isn't plugged with dirt-n-junk.

ok. some will say it makes a difference if your jeep is parked on an incline (nose up vs nose down). if i'm parked nose up, it leaks a lot. nose down, not as much. my jeep has a lot of other holes too though...lol good luck man!
