My "barely used" TT had a similar leak. Turns out the previous owner clipped a tree and damaged the seal between the front panel and the roof.

When the problem didn't go away entirely, I used a lot more lap sealant across that whole strip connecting the front panel to the roof. We'll see if it stays dry all camping season.
