I recently replaced the driver's side door weatherstripping, but still have two wet spots on the door frame when it rains:
The wet/rusting spot on the pillar section doesn't seem to be wet if I reach around behind it with my finger. Do you think these leaks are coming from a rusted through section of the drip rail? I don't see any rusted out spots on it, but there is shrunken/cracked seam sealer in it so there may be a hole covered up that I can't see.

Re: source of door leak
Those leaks sure look like they are coming from inside the panels, which would indicate a leak at the rain gutter.
Re: source of door leak
Put your water hose on slow and lay on roof so that it just wets the gutter. that will give you an ideal where its leaking...
