Is it an EK?

On my EG, if you remove the taillights, you'll see several cracks in the paint/welds/sealing goop. I usually seal them up with clear "windsheild" sealant. As the cracks continue to grow and the sealants dries out, you may notice the leaks slowly return, at which point you'll have to repeat the process.

Integra owners have always noted leaking tailight gaskets as the problem. I have tried replacing those on my EG without it solving the problem.

Do you think it could be condensation? it doesn't like much water.

So you removed the tailights, but didn't see the cracks that I described on my car?

How about when you open the hatch and look at where the roof meets the rear pillars? I also have cracks that I've sealed there, but I found most of the water was coming in behind the taillights.

That's right. I'll try and get a pic for you if it's still light out when I get home.
