My door seal is giving me fits!  It was leaking, noticed black smoke stains above door and could occasionally see some smoke leaking.  Tightened door slightly, didn't fix it so I replaced door seal and it seems to be worse.  Any advice?

Run white chalk around the metal lip of opening, then shut tight.
The chalk will transfer to door seal where it touches.  Adjust corner where chalk didn't transfer.

When I replace my door seal, I found one of the bearings the door latches onto, had loosened and moved.

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks JJ.  I will try it this evening.

Did the chalk test.  It left a white line around the whole perimeter.  The metal lip it seals against seems slightly corroded.  Doesn't seem like it would be enough to leak though.
