I would definately "dig" out all the old stuff, and fix from the outside if at all possible. Think of it this way, you have a passage that water is finding it's way through, if you seal it up on the inside the passage still fills up from the outside down to your patch - the water can sit there and start/continue to rust.

If you can find out where it's getting in I'd drizzle some liquid POR-15 in from the outside to seal and coat the "passage" then after it cures go ahead and use the POR-15 putty to fill it up.

I had a leak like this on my 57 Chevy that like to drove me nuts. Finally after I took the fender off to weld in a lower patch panel I saw a seam that the old seam sealer had cracked on and was letting water in.

Good luck!

Justin
