Default V40 Water in Spare Tire Well

For some reason I have experienced water in the spare tire wheel well. I've looked with a flash light, can't see any drainage issues, and the carpet isn't wet. Rear hatch seal is good. Were is it coming from is a mystery. Help...

Default Water

If you have a garage or somewhere totally dark. Remove All the floor carpet, spare tire, everything you can and turn on work light and put it in the closed trunk. Crawel around and look for the light. Look for missing drain plugs in the floor.
