Hi Colin, I agree with David Most. It's most likely your rear heater core leaking. I've replaced two. One on my former '85 and one on my '90 Westy (same symptoms drip out by sliding door floor). On my wife's '88 the previous owner had the rear heater removed so I installed a new unit and heater core. Check out your rear heater and if you give me a call I've got a new heater core and I could help you put it in tomorrow (Thursday). My labor is cheap for a fellow listmember(beer)...give me a call at 408-244-5143. I'm in Santa Clara right next to San Jose.
