Leaky trunk

I have a 2001 Sentra GXE.. I have suspected the trunk leaked (or water
seeped in) from time to time but I was proven right last night after a car
wash.   Is this a simple fix in the line of putting new sealing around the
trunk?  Has anyone ever had this happen?

Thanks
C.H.

Yes, on a 93 Sentra. The water appeared to be coming from the top joint
between the wheel well and the fender on the drivers side. There is some
painted sealing gunk up there, but apparently not enough. The clue was
mud streaks down the wheel well.

Many times it leaks via the tail lights.  Check with a hose so that you can
control the water direction in order to track it down.  Tail light
area--Trunk gasket (low flow so as not to get the tail light involved).

Thanks.. that's a good possibility I would think.

Never seen a trunk seal leak .

The tail lights are the most common problem
