It will drain down the outside away from the trunk but between fender and wheel well. Check to see if the area behind the rear wheel (usually a spot for rust ) is dry. Easy way to check if the front vents are clogged is to run water directly in the front cowling grating. If it does not come out under the car, it is going inside. GM vented their car this way at least thru the late 80's. Air and water go the same path until the heavier water goes down further and the air goes into the cabin. if the vacuum controlled door you found is the problem the water will go in the that way. Also, these windows leak like sieves during heavy rains with high winds. Try driving one thru a high pressure car wash.
In mine, there was a door inside the heater box. You can't get to it unless the whole thing comes out of the car and you really don't want to do that. If that door is the purge door it should not be the source of a water leak. The best way to find the leak is with a water hose. Remember when you get leaks after a storm the car was in for more than a few minutes so be patient.
