It could be the seal for the trunk or the tail light seals.

i had my rear antenna leak there.. water or dew i suppose would go down around seal and travel down wire to trunk.. was messy.. had to put cardboard in there and see where it was coming from.. it was very dry when i looked so had to be on sides or under..
