It's a very common problem.
You need to seal up the tail lights or replace the tail light gaskets.
There is a how to on how to seal them up in the how to section. Or you can just go get a new set of gaskets from the dealer.

I replace the seals and then sealed them. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be dealing with that hassle again anytime soon.

My weather stripping is bad on mine and water gets in around it so that could be an issue too.

lay down the rear seats, sit inside partially in the trunk and have a friend throw the hose on it. you should be able to tell where it is coming in from, and my money is on the tail light seals.

that's essentially what I did after I sealed up my tail lights and found out it was the weather stripping.

That happened on my 1GN so I just bought and installed a new CHMSL rather than try to fix the leak.

I think mine cost me $8 a piece from the dealer, but it might have been $6.
