my cars does the same thing..for sum reason honda didnt put the gas float in the middle of the tank they put in the left side of the tank...so wen u take a right turn the fuel moves away from the float..thus showin gas going down..it happens 2 me wen i park on a lopsided street in my neighborhood

most likely u have the weather strip in the trunk letting water in..i cant really say anythin other than i had the same problem on my hatch on the rightside but water would collect next to my speakers..i changed the weather strip and did a water test..

first of all how far is the gauge moving?
second your gas is goin to move while you turn my friend causing the reading to either go down or up. think about it....

and your second description sucks, where is water comming in from? pic?&gt;

Sounds like you need to take the taillights off and get some kinda of sealant between the foam gasket and the taillight.
