Blimey, thanks, something else to try! Ive been on the quest to find this leak longer that the original star trek mission. I have replaced everything except the car.

Im not exactly sure where you mean, while I wait for the Captain Tolleys to arrive can you give me more directions?

Look at the boot hinges where they screw to the body, you will see a seam that runs from the screen to the rear lights (it joins the boot panel to the rear quarters)

Run a few coats of captain tolleys along there, allow an hour between coats, and see if that helps.

My Capt Tolley's arrived today. I'll be doing the light gaskets as well, just in case.
