I used to have a leak in the same spot. After I greased it with a little Shin-Etsu grease it stopped leaking.

Use Shin-Etsu silicone grease on it. DON'T use mineral oil based products, and don't use olive oil. These will eventually break-down the rubber and cause more problems.

Same here. It only leaked when I first bought it (used) and the previous owner had apparently never treated the seals. No leaks now, I have driven through nasty rainstorms and no more leaks, except for the annoying splash from the seals that I get when I close the door after the car has been sitting in the rain for a while.
