I have water gettting in my ep as well, and i found it was coming from the holes used to mount the wing to the hatch.

I always get water in my spare tire well of my rsx. its because of my tail light gaskets though. one of the annoying problems with rsx's. not sure if that could be your reason though. try taking out your tail lights and check just incase.
