Leaking outside kitchen door.
I went to get something out of the outer kitchen today and noticed water dripping from the bottom corner of the door. After further inspection it looks like the bottom couple inches is water logged. ...

Maybe your door glass is leaking.
Test one... Hose down out side of glass in door window, look for water making it way inside.
Test two...Tape up outside of window with good tape and all four corners and parts inbetween. You don't want window falling out.
Unscrew plastic frame from the inside and remove. Look at bottom of where plastic frame meets inside of door at bottom. If full of dirt and grime most likely you need to remove glass and re-seal.
Not that hard of job. See if maybe youtube vids on it. Hardest part was doing it the first time. Took me 4 hours first time. Now only about hour 1/2. Now hardest part is getting the groove glass sets in absolutely as clean as possible.
One of the few places silicone is OK. Make sure its "100 percent silicone". Make sure you get out ALL of residue before re-sealing. I use a drill bit to remove old stuff. Pick one that is real close in dimater of the groove size.
If glass isn't leaking, maybe door frame. Get inside when dark and have someone shine a flash light to see where light/leak might be.
And some doors have little holes in top of their frame, (vent)? Good thing newer doors don't have wood framing or cardboard filler anymore.
