There is a rubber boot on the cable going from the antenna down thru the antenna housing that is the usual cause of such a leak. Check to see that it is completely down over the cable fitting. If it is cracked/broken, just caulk with silicone around the cable where it goes into the fitting.
Simple fix if that is where the water is getting in--while up there, check the caulking around the housing base--could be dried out, cracked and possibly needs recaulking also.
