It is more likely issues mentioned above, but I would ask:
1. What is under your bench seats in the slide? Hot water tank, heater, etc?
2. How close are your water lines to this area of the camper?
3. Do you have a window in the side of that slide? If so, when is the last time you resealed it?
Bad thing about OSB, if it gets wet on the EDGE, it will wick it in :(
If the camper or slide was sloped that water flowed towards the camper, the wiper seal may not have been enough to stop the water and it followed the slide edge inside the camper, runs down on the floor under the slide, wicks out.
What seals did you replace? The ones on the camper where the slide mates, or the wipers on the camper? Or both?
If water gets behind that seal or if that seal doesn't extend seamlessly to the bottom of the slide area, it can divert water to the bottom edge of the trailer.
I hate to see stuff like this- especially after an extensive repair already :( Hope you find it quickly and get a permanent solution ;)
