water leak at door hinge area

I recently got my car together after at least 15 years apart. When being washed, there is a water leak coming in at both of the front kick panels.
If I spray water in the hinge to body area, the water comes in.
My question is, is there supposed to be some kind of sealer around the hinge where it mounts to the body?
Thanks
Tom

Is there a weather stripping on the door or door jam missing ?

Yes. It has all new seals. With the door open and trickling water onto the upper hinge it drips from the dash.
When on the lower hinge it comes out from the kick panel.
