Likely cause of my chimney leak?

[Bigsby]

I heard a hiss when I walked past the stove a while ago and discovered water trailing down the stove pipe from the ceiling support. I went up to the attic and found water oozing from the seam where the second 3' section of chimney pipe meets the third. I looked for water above this area and found everything to be dry. Right now we're in the middle of a heavy, windy downpour but I've never had any issues since the chimney was install two years ago. Any ideas on what is likely the problem? Thanks for any help.

Wind simply causing the rain to blow sideways into the cap?

There have been posts about the rain entering the chimney in the seams. When it's dry out, I'd run a bead of silicone along the seam of the chimney that is exposed to the rain outside. I could be anywhere when the rain is coming down sideways.

Ok, always thought the chimney connections were water tight but that's an easy enough fix if that's the problem. Going to double check the caulk bead on the storm collar too.
