Yeah it's not even behind the bumper as such - the blue line points to an aperture in the rear of the wheel arch, and the water runs freely through there
You can see the little puddle in the red circle.
It only happens when the car's actually being driven on a wet road, so I assume it's being chucked up by the wheel. But then I guess some of the arch liner must be missing or something... trouble is, my driveway is sloped, and my physical abilities are not what they were, so I don't fancy jacking the car up on a hill and taking the wheel off
Maybe time for my friendly neighbourhood mechanic... he'll be booked up for 2-3 weeks though.
Think I'll just stuff that hole full of bubble wrap for now...
