83 gsl rain leaks

Ok so i just picked up a 8383 gsl as a project and it has serious leak issues whenever it rains. I know for sure the windsheald leaks and i am in the process of fixing that. I was just wondering if there are any other common spots for leaks in these cars. Any info on helping me pinpoint all these leaks would be awesome. Thanks in advance guys!

bad seal replace it or rebuild it. while your at it replace the line and slave cylinder. 30 yr old hydraulics are going to fail sooner or later why bleed it 3 different times? do it all at once i say but just my .2 GL
