hmmm is a leak an instal related issue?

Hi there...
I know it has very lil to do with installs... but cuz of this lil detail I am not able to put my system in... and it is a LEAK in my trunk.... now I don't know how you guys can help.... but I have tried everything from cleaning the trunk rubber seal to silicone the whole back window seal, trunk sides and even the roof drain strips... I am done with ideas where the water is coming from and how its getting to my trunk (its dripping from one of the top corners just behind the taillight)... I guess I am looking for any advice of anyone who had a similar problem? :S?? Its not a bad leak but my amp is right on the path of the drops (cant relocate the amp)..... I was thinking about sealing the whole trunk with rubberized sealant (blue seal) but im just afraid that the trunk is gonna rot away with time and im gonna have a huge hole one day.... any techniques to determine where the leak is? any remedy? (beside changing the car lol) ANY help will be appreciated... really... thanks guys... and sorry if its in a bad place(the post)

Ya, the hose trick usually works quite well.

I have tried to hose it down and open it after 30 min- it takes a bit for it too leak through all the holes I guess.... There is nothing in the trunk(carpet etc).. Just whenever I think I sealed it ... It still leaks... And I'm just getting angry now...
