it will either be your rear ligh cluster gaskets or your high level brake light gasket that is/are leaking
is your car under warranty?

in which case if it's been in an accident i'd get whoever repaired it to have a look

im gonna have a look myself (it took em 3 months to sort a pervios quibble) as i think your high level brake light suggestion sounds best and nore likely as i did have a look in the bits behind the low lights and it looks quite dry in there

James,

I have had this....it was a small leak from the water pipe that feeds the rear screen washer jet. The water found its way down the inner boot skin and collected in the boot, hence the dry carpet etc. Sorted under warranty and new boot 'handle' and reg. plate light assembly as the leak had corroded the fixings.

Hope that helps

ah cool that makes sense will have a look in the morning when its light and i can pull the boot apart if i need to as i think the place that repaired it could have left a bit loose
