Default Trunk Leak!

I noticed that my car smelled a little bit like mildew soI went and opened my trunk and theright side of the trunk liner (around the right wheel well) was soaking wet. I took out the turnk liner and the right side liner in the trunk and theres about an inch of water down in the wheel well. I have NO idea what this is from and it's only on the right side. Any ideas?? Any help would be appreciated

You're going to need to get it wet and see if you can find the leak. Maybe a small hole around the drain channel. Maybe a window leak.

I ran the hose all around the seal on the trunk and there was nothing coming in. I feel like its coming from the right wheel well somewhere because thats the only place where the water is....well i think it splashes over to where the spare is too...but there is NONE on the left side

Get a good light in the trunk and look all around that side at the seam sealer. The caulking gunk that they use to close gaps in body panels.

Put your heater on full blast with the outside air circ open
and close all the doors. Then get underneith and look for
air blowing out of the affected area. You might have to
block off the air outlets located in the trunk area around
the spot you found water. The trick is to pressurize the
cabin and look for air leaks around the area of water.
You might have lost one of the air outlet flapper valves
and thats your source of water.
