My '88 is parked nose up hill on my driveway. I recently discovered a
water leak on the driver side; water flows under the battery box
carpet and down between the kitchen unit floor and sheet metal.
(kitchen unit currently UN-installed). Water also pools under the
door.

Could be poor door alignment and-or a failing seal, but I'm about
certain that parking on a hill exacerbates the issue.
