Leaking Hatch

I've been getting leaks (as seen by dark drip marks) from the hatch in the head and the hatch just outside the head.

A couple of years ago I pulled the hatches and resealed them. This spring I ran a bead of sealer around the outside edge of each hatch and I taped off the upper edge of the mast boot ( I have a keel stepped mast as I believe we all do but, just in case..).

I can't figure out where this leak is coming from. All the other possible hatches or entries into the hull are below these hatches; it's hard to believe water is going to run up-hill from another port or window.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
