We used to have driving rains or monsoon type rains in Los Angeles during the rainy months. That's the true test of how waterproof your house is.

My ex-husband, who was a great handyman, used to put Jabsco Water Sealer (I think that's the name) on the outside of the house along the area where the leaks seem to be coming in. One time we actually found that the rain would come through the stucco outside and travel along the beams and the leak would occur in the middle of the living room. After he put the water sealer, we were good to go. No more leaks.

Hope this helps. Lucky if you are still under warranty.
