I checked my tailight seals today because I am having the same problem. They looked fine to me, but is there anything specific to look for.
I feel like I've investigated this as much as I can on my own...I'm stumped.

ok sweet. hopefully this works. We just had some rain the other night and this morning I found an ice rink in my trunk where the spare is supposed to be while loading my skis into it.
