Default leaky trunk

after hosing down the trunk, i found out where it was leaking. on the left part of the inside lid, there is this circular hole near the edge of the lid and the water seems to be dripping there. i stuck my finger in the hole and tried finding a hole or something, but i couldn't find it. i'm going away for a few days, but i stuffed some paper towels in the hole for now, just so it won't leak that bad. anyone else have this problem in their em1 and anyone got an idea on how to fix it?

If it's one of the round cut holes I'm thinking of, that's supposed to be there. I'm pretty sure it's to let air escape from the seal. The water could possibly be just dripping from that area because of the design, not because it's leaking through the seal.

Well, i've never had a leak in my em1, but i would suggest getting it all covered up and probably using cauk, or even bond-o if you know where the hole is!

i know the round cut hole is supposed to be there, but i don't know if it's supposed to be leaking from that area. after hosing down the trunk, drops of water were coming out of that area.
