umm, well as of today i was cleaning everything out of my integra, fully detialing. When i took out the spare tire and jack and all, i notice there was water in there. strange enough it not from the tail lights because they have never been removed from the car. Where could it come from? It really small leak too.

I know in my 4door it leaks from the seal around the trunk when it rains or I wash it.

4DRmafia

the trunk seal you mean ? umm mines looks fairly new though. Any how i can see the dirt or some sort running down under the spare tire. it seems like it coming somewhere under them panels on the right side. could it be from the seal around the top hats where the struts are mounted ? this is weird though!

Tail light gaskets are known to leak as well

i have a leak also and mine comes from a little vent thats on the drivers side behind the plastic panels...

4DRmafia

theres a vent behind them panels ?

i don't know about dc's but on da's there's a sunroof drain hose that runs to the trunk. and it gets clogged up and leaks into the trunk. so you might want to check that out

I do water leak diag. at work quite a bit and the best way is to gut the interior and spray down the car with a high pressure hose and hope to see a water trail you can follow to the cause of the leak.

4DRmafia

yeah that what i might have to do sometimes soon.

ls19integra95

dc's do have a hose to the sun roof, there is actually 4 of them, one to each corner

like i said my car dont have sunroof, it an rs model once again

I vote trunk seal then. I washed my car yesterday and it got a huge puddle just from that. It 'looks' fine to me, but that doesn't mean anything.

Tail lights can leak even if they've never been removed from the car.

i have the same leak in my dc2 as well, just get an old towel to leave down there as a sponge. my eg hatch had the same leak as well, and i even had that pressure vent down there sealed off because i competed in usaci, and it still leaked

4DRmafia

i'm thinking it has something to do with water and sometimes it throws dirt in there.. sorta weird when i see some dirt in there the next day after i cleaned it the day before.

ls19integra95

do you have any rust in the rear like in the tire wells? i know mine did and when it rained and i drove it would spray a little bit of water into my trunk...

Do your taillights look like fish tanks (water filled up inside the lenses)? If so, then most likely water is getting in around the edges of the red lenses, and not through the taillight seal. If that is the case then you can run some silicone sealant around the edges of the lenses.

4DRmafia

well no fish tank there but they look like they have some moisture in them. does that mean it been leaking water into the trunk area from them tail lights?

Strip out those panels from the rear of the car, get inside the car and close it up and have someone spray water over the rear of the car, or set up a lawn sprinkler to spray onto the car, and see if you can see where the water is coming in.

How much water did you find in there, like just a little wetness, or like a swimming pool in your spare tire well?

<-- used to have a swimming pool, which froze one winter

just very little and enough to fog the windows a lil too. i'm really picky and like to have no water leaking in my car.

I have a 96 LS that has a trunk leak too, and I found the source of it to be a body seam that cracked open. The crack is underneath the rear bumper valance, right beside the driver's side tail light. I pulled off the valance and noticed a little crack in the putty stuff that is used to seal the body seam, and I sealed that up and it's much better now.

I think I may have that problem, as well. I fixed my trunk leak a couple years ago that was coming from the tail lights, but I saw some moisture in there a few weeks ago and I think it may have been a gap in the seam sealant.
