pop blue paper (like the stuff you find in public conveniences to dry your hands with) in around all the suspected entry points and see which part gets wet

you could even dab a wad of the stuff around the suspected entry points to see if it is getting wet...

See if its coming through that little hole were the hatch catch is. If the drainholes in the rear hatch are blocked it fills with water and then leaks through the locking catch area. Into the slampanel catch area and runs along the bottom of that panel.
