To tell if they are, first roll the window down. Then, put a dollar bill (or $100 bill, depending on how balling you are) between your door and your A Pillar. Basically slam it in your door, half inside the car, half out. Go from the beginning of the A Pillar to the B Pillar. If at any time you can move the dollar bill, you have a place where your seal is not tight. If it's a small area, you put the putty I am talking about. If it's easily movable, you may want to adjust your door.
You probably don't need to actually adjust your door. That would involve adjusting it at the hinges which I don't recommend doing if you haven't done it before. You can mess up your door alignment and have much more noise, have issues with your latch, etc.
I can't find a link to to the putty stuff you put under your door gasket. The same thing works on windows, it may be a ***** to do on our accords though. If everything is really bad, replace the gaskets instead.
I haven't actually ever done this, I just learned it from my autoshop teacher way back.
