The leak may have also been from the sunroof, if your car has one.

On my 85 244GL (recently purchased) the driver's side drain hose kept popping back into the A pillar, leading to water constantly draining into the car. The floor pan rusted out TWICE as a result of this. Attached pic shows the inside view of the drain hose, normally hidden behind the fuse panel.

The hose is supposed to stick out a bit, so that the water runs down in the hinge area.
