Need help ... Water leak

Hi everyone i have a leak in my ceiling cabinet above my stove. I can't figure out where it is coming from. It only seems to leak in with wind driven rain.

Stove in a slide configuration? Didn't indicate fiver model. Bad caulking on your exhaust vent for the M/W would be a good place to start assuming you have the normal MW over the stove configuration.

That M/W vent would be below the cabinet.

M/W would be microwave vent. If that's not a possibility, I'd check my roof first. A hole from a limb or something or a vent or something with cracked caulk could let water in and then it can travel along the trusses and other stuff up there and come out quite a ways from where the hole is.

You also might be better off closing the little latches on the outside of the vent to keep the flap from opening in the wind. When the flap opens in the wind when it’s raining, water will come in and drip down inside.
