Basement seepage

I get water seepage in the corner of my basemnt when it rains. When the ground is saturated this seepage may continue a day or two after the rain stops. The area where the seepage occurs is where the floor and wall meet. There are basement steps here that are covered with a belco door. 3/4 of my basement is finished. Luckily where the leak is the basement is unfinished. I was considering putting hydrolic cement in the crack at the bottom of the basement steps to stop the water. What I'm concerned about is if I stop the seepage there the water will continue to come in somewhere else. Like maybe to the finished part of my basement? Does this make sense?
