I've had that problem on our Series 7 Burgundy. Replaced the outer door seal, it still leaked. Water also leaked down the 9 screws holding the wet locker in place and rotted the floor underneath it which I had to replace.
It turned out to be a very thin white foam seal that sits between the inner flat piece of door (wet locker infill) and outer raised door section on the Thetford type 5 door assembly. This item used to be a spare part that bailey carried in stock but has since been removed from their listings.
The door is actually 3 seperate pieces plus this seal and a load of spring clips, it is a push-fit assembly that isn't made to come apart. Remove the locker door by removing the 2 hinge pins, (they slide out) Lay it down, outside facing upwards and and pour some water into the centre of the door, look to see if it trickles through.
If it does, you have 2 options,
1) Buy a new door complete, (expensive)
2) dismantle door and add a bead of Soudal RV 61 around the inner edge where the foam goes to permanently seal the infill panel to the frame. (Cheap but very fiddly to get apart, possibility of permanent damage to door assembly meaning you are back to option 1. Good luck
