    Water in rear wheel arch

    Hi,

    Its raining heavily over here and saw water seepage in both rear wheel arch where battery and reverse camera module is kept in Passat B7 MY 2011

    I tried applying silicon sealant over the boot rubber seal Water in rear wheel arch-boot-rubber-seal-silicon01-jpg and I don't think water is coming from here.

    I even checked leakage at small pipes coming from this rubber seal and they aren't leaking either.

    Water could be other source of seepage??

    About a year ago, I kept finding water pooled at the rear of the shelf where the battery sits on my B6 Passat. I would mop it up and it would return a few weeks later. I thought I might be causing it by the way I hosed the car when washing it. Then the problem stopped. I never did find where the water entered.
