Default Water leaks into my hatch when it rains

I just got back from driving around in the rain. I noticed a pool of water in the back of my hatch. Did a little investigating and I noticed it's coming from the rear passenger tail light and also the strut mount area. Went outside and also noticed that my passenger tail light is full of water. Could it possibly be a bad tail light gasket? Where can I get another tail light gasket? How can I fix the leak coming from the strut hole?

Yes, it could. Check to see if the light is still tight, and if it is, replace the gasket. This is very common.

Could be the tail light grease

if you have had this problem for a while you might as well just replace the light and the gasket you might have lost some of the chrominess of the light and it wont be as bright..as for where if your on a budget try a junk yard or maybe even ebay if not HONDA
