When I lived in Houston (lots of heavy rains)I and several D owners 
would chase water leaks. For one leak with symptoms similar to yours 
we found water actually coming in at the door seal where the curve 
begins at the area of the light switches. The water would run down 
the channel and come in under the seal at the curve and accumulate 
in front of the seat. This was especially true if a seal was rotated 
or replaced. A generous amount of black silicone under the seal for 
about 5 or 6 inches before the bend and at the bend stopped the leak 
every time.

The other leak sounds similar to ones we had when the drain to the 
outside near the fuel pump cover would get blocked. The water would 
fill up in the drain space until eventually the water would spill 
into the air intake and then all over in the car. Usually out the 
air feed at the fan motor that would of course eventually screw that 
up.

There is a DeLorean bulletin about finding leaks that is in one of 
the manuals that DMC, Grady and others have available. That is a 
good help also.
