I see that you had it tarped but the following is easy to do.

If you've removed the Westy cabinetry, run a hose at the window seals
on that side.
On my '88 Westy, I had a leak at body seam. Fixed that but was
surprised to see water still getting in. Water was getting in via
forward most side window seal. I suspect this happens at bottom of
seal at glass.
