Check the rubber seals around your back lights mate,they sometimes leak and seep into the boot.

Although im guessing you have a Mk3 Golf as you didnt say

It was not in the mk3 section earlier.

Check around your lamps as a 1st step, well worth fitting new gaskets as they are very cheap.

if it has a roof aerial also check the rubber seal at the base

Failing all that, check the sunroof drainage holse 

[boneybradley]

you could lock someone in the boot to check (use a spray hose and let them see if any drips occur).... this also good for getting rid of bodies

Don't suppose you've got a part number for the rubber seal do you?

or you can do what i did when i got my clear rear lights that always let water in.
i put a silicone beed on both side of the gasket then fitted it to car wile silicone was wet.
has never leaked since
