Joe,
You should have two holes for drainage at the front and on either side
of the spare wheel well.  
I recommend you clear them, which will help until you find the source of
your leak. 
Look for water entering around the fuel filler cap, the tail light
housings and the seams of the rear fenders.

Good luck,

Subject: a trunk full of water


Thursday I drove down to Greensboro NC to have my wires trued...Hendrix
Wire 
Wheel, great folks BTW.  I drove about 100 miles through some pretty 
significant rain.    When I got home I found my carpets soaking wet from
the fire wall 
to the shelf behind the seats.  After drying out, I decided that it must
have 
come in from under the transmission cover, because their are no holes 
anywhere, and the water was evenly distributed on both sides.   I
thought I did a 
decent job of sealing up the cover, but I can't imagine where so much
water could 
have come from, except something major like the tranny cover.  Today I
popped 
open the trunk to get something and I found water completely covering
the 
spare tire...COMPLETELY... I bailed out 6 Gallons.  Where in heavens
name is all 
this water coming from?  I replaced all the grommets and seals this
winter,  
and the car has no holes that I can find. It seems to be coming from the

passenger side at the front of the trunk.  Could it be coming from
around the gas 
filler?  Any ideas?
All wet
