Problem area in rear of 1964 Tradewind

I am in the start of a floor replacement in a 64 Tradewind -- the rear area of the floor is soft in a few spots and has some soft spots elsewere in the floor --- My question is that in the rear of a tradewind there is a storage area between the bumper and the body - the bellypan extends all the way to the bumper and there is a aluminum cover with a hinge on it that covers the area between the bumper and body - if I reach up under that cover I can feel the plywood floor - Is this a problem area ??? what seals the water from just weeping up from the aluminum cover to the wood???
has anyone had issues with this area ???
Next leak question is how and what to seal seams with once a leak is found ? do you seal it from the outside and inside or just outside?? - I will have the rest of the interior panels off this weekend and thought that i would seal the leaks before installing the floor ..
Thanks in advance for any help and advice
Scott
