Same thing happened to me, i guess at one time someone didnt put the tail light gasket back in, and the water was getting into the hatch area.

that could be it. if you cant find the leak, then just drill a hole in the bottom of your spare tire well and let the water drain like that

Taillights are leaking. Common problem in EKs, I had it too till I switched to EM1 tails.
