I thought my slide was leaking but I am pretty sure its coming in my furnace vents. Has anyone else had this I'm not really sure how to overcome this. Also shower is leaking when showering what are the odds its the glass panel assembly.

If you suspect the furnace vent, remove, thoroughly clean and re caulk it using gray butyl tape or Geocel RV Sealant - not silicone.
It may well be that the leak in the shower is coming from the glass panel assembly - especially the door. Have a good look at all the seams and re caulk any areas that look suspicious. Pay particular attention to where the panel meets the bottom shower floor enclosure.
If silicone has been used as a sealant then applying another coat of silicone will be problematic since silicone doesn't adhere to itself. Try to find another product suitable for this type of application that is not silicone based.

With the furnace vent I didn't explain very good what I meant was I think the water is entering through the actual holes not from the cover.
With the shower thanks for the silicone tip what would you recommend as a alternative.
