What causes a leak in the rear floorboard in a Lincoln town car?

I can't say definitively, as many things could potentially cause this, but here is a probable cause (found this via research, and it fixed my problem as well). The gasket for the rear door is attached to the car body with plastic anchors that push into holes in the chassis. There is also a hole in the chassis on the bottom of the door opening that a sign plate clips into. In the case my research turned up, the plastic anchors were failing to keep the gasket tight against the chassis, and water was leaking in through the anchor holes. In my case, I think it might have been through the opening for the sign plate on the bottom of the door opening. The solution in both cases was to get a tube of gasket cement, remove the gasket, apply a good bead of the cement, focusing on the anchor holes, and then replace the gasket. I also removed the sign plate, put a good bead of cement around that hole, and then replaced the sign plate. Things have been dry since then.

What would cause the rear brakes to leak on one side wetting the pads and how do you fix this?
You have a leak in the caliper piston most likely due to rust which causes brake fluid to leak past the rubber seal. To fix, you have to either rebuild the caliper yourself or buy a rebuilt caliper from the parts store. If you buy a rebuilt caliper, it will come loaded or unloaded. Loaded = comes with brake pads. Unloaded = caliper by itself (no pads).

make sure the leak is not coming from above the starter, like from the valve cover gasket, if it isn`t then it probably is the rear crankshaft seal which would require the removal of the tranny to replace.

Lincoln Mark 8s do not have steel coil springs. They have airbags or air springs. The air bags can plainly be seen by looking under the rear of the vehicle near the wheels. You will see a elongated rubber bag on both sides. Also can be seen though the front wheel wells. If these blow out or leak the vehicle will leak down.
