This happend to me before, i coldnt find the leak either. the dealer did though, it was the tail light seals (between the tail lights and body of car) it would leave my wheel well filled with like an inch of water, pop the drain plug out to let the water drain, and like ezland00 said, leave it in the sun with the trunk open. and obviously replace the seals or gaskets whatever they are called.

I hate water leaks. Take it to the dealer all wet so they can see what happened. You might get a new trunk liner to go with the repair.

pull back the trunk liner in the corners and follow the drain tube in both sides to make sure its connected to out flow port. I noticed this pipe while changing out my tails. I would start there is it is a significant amount of water. Also you should be good under waranty for dealer repair.

You really need to start using the search feature. This is the second thread you started without doing a search. Try it sometime. Ya never know what you'll find.
