Welcome to the forum

If your slide is fully retracted and water is leaking into the interior, I would suspect the seal is not intact. Move your slide out and look at the trailer. There should be a "bulb" seal across the top and along both sides. I have seen the side seals slip down. Take close look at The top of your slide, any twigs, pine cones and such will cause a gap in the top seal.

Run the slide back in and then inspect the outside edges, looking at the gap between the trailer and slide. Is it even? Is it possible that you may have bumped the slide switch and nudged it out?

Still leaking. Seals look good. Dont matter in slide is in or out it leaks. When i winterize it i have to actually tape up the slide on the outside to keep water out during the winter. At a loss here.

4 years of leaking, plan on a major repair. It may have been a easy little problem at one time, I doubt it still is. As far as where or how it is leaking? Water runs down and where you find it on the floor is where it ended up. Could be any number of reasons or places. Roof, sides, seams, windows. What have you done to find out where it is coming from.
