Yes. The outside door. Mine looks just like yours. When you remove your door, check the compression marks on the foam gasket that’s adhered to the inside of the door. Pay particular attention to the area around the screws. On my door, I could see where the seal was broken, because the gasket did not extend close enough to the edge of the door.
I have not seen evidence of water getting in through the exhaust chimney. I believe it is designed to stand off the door a bit to allow combustible air to enter around the edges of the chimney. I would not apply caulk.
