If you're sure you have a good seal on the roof then I would inspect the clearance lights on the back wall. If there are any windows above the outside kitchen inspect the seal there as well. Water flows downhill so depending on how the unit is setting water could be running from a penetration that's not directly above the spot where it emerges.
Good luck and let everyone know what you find.

I'm not sure how you access your outside kitchen, but typically there is a door that swings up to create a canopy over the kitchen. That door has several components that can leak into the interior.

First, as stated previously, check the gasket on the door rim.
Second, check the lip of the flange that is screwed to the trailer skin. There may be a void in the butyl tape/putty tape used to seal that flange to the skin of the trailer.
Third, check the hinge at the top of the door. Sometimes the gasket there leaks into the interior of the door.
Fourth, check the "weep holes" in the flange. There are two (possibly more) on the bottom of the flange, probably adjacent to the locks that secure the door.
Fifth, check the lock installation. If it is "small "751 twist locks" they may be allowing water to leak into the frame of the door and past the weep holes. If they are "slam locks" they may not be tight or the gasket may be twisted/folded allowing the assembly to leak.

Good Luck and if you have any photos of the actual door assembly, posting them would help identify what kind of door you have and lead us to troubleshooting that type of assembly. What I've done above is a "general best guess" based on all types of doors without being able to "zero in" on what kind of door you actually have. ....

Is it possible for water to get into the side rail where the gutter runs with the white molding covering the screws?

Possible but not probable if the factory installed the rail correctly. Butyl/putty tape is used behind the rail and the screws go through it. The screw cover is more decorative than water proof. Once the screw rail is secured there should be a bead of sealant along the top edge. Often times pro flex or pro seal is used, Ive seen Non leveling Dicor used too.
