This aluminum flange I believe is the problem. It is built like a "pan" to trap water. There are no weep holes to move water outside the camper. I know the joint at the screwdriver
Tip leaks. The exterior joint of the corner flange ( the bottom flange slides into the vertical ) was not water tight. This may explain why leaking occurred at front and back corners of tip out slide. Like a window sill should it be on an angle to shed water? The rubber gasket on exterior of flange was set higher allowing water to trough.
Thank you all and any help would be appreciated.
