Could be the rear lights or the seals around the screws on the spoiler.

Agree with Swiss and Tony.

Changed my lexarse rears for WRX and had the same probs, removed them again and cleaned/lubed the rubber seals, problem solved

I get the same problem, the water seems to find its way past the rubber seal around the boot.

Yeah, would seem so, it did feel a little strange typing it

But after reading your other thread i wouldn't let you come down and do the job, you'd end up knocking yourself out and drowning in the pool claret that you would enevitablly leave

Yup same problem here, just noticed this morning, behind the rear arches where the jack is kept has a nice little puddle. Apears to be coming from the seals around the boot and the spoiler. Now we know the problem, any suggestions on a cure or a preventative measure, e.g. Waxoiling the areas to stop them corroding the metal ?
