yup. it was the little vent window bottom hinge ... the rubber gasket was
not snug enough to the hinge, and it would drip a big drip about every
30 seconds or so. you have to sit inside the bus during rain (or convenient
water hose) to see it.

i cured mine with some black silicone seal ... it didn't take much at all
... and it hasn't leaked since.

hope it helps.
