Weak Springs?

I see no sign of water entering this side of the rotor. The seals all look OK to me.

But when I press on the side seals at the green locations, the seals bounce back.

When I press in the red areas, there is no bounce at all. Dead springs?

Only one of the corner seals moves at all. How much are they supposed to move?

If so, I guess this would explain smoking at startup?
