Water in the well

Friday night I was cleaning out the trunk and when I pulled up the carpet over the spare tire I found my spare tire well full of water. Is there anywhere I should look for a leak that would leave water there? 95 850 turbo sedan

Are the drains plugged, high on either side of the trunk? ...along the seam where top of the rear quarterpanels are at their apex, and meet the lid where it closes near the read window glass.

I used canned air to blow mine out the other week.

Have to check that too.

Thanks

I was able to blow out one side I think, and the other water blew up at me and then ice formed on the blower straw. Where do these drain to? Anyone had to snake one?

Use canned air; put the tiny tube on the nozzle that the cans come with, usually red.

Put the tube into the drain. Put your finger in also, making a seal. Blast the air in there. It should blow anything out, except ice.

The drains drain somewhere inside the fenders.

I ended up pulling the inner lining of the trunk out and there is a rubber tube that goes out the bottom. I was able to remove the tube and clean it out, it was filled with gunk at the bottom and plugged up pretty good. Now they both drain so hopefully my traveling swimming pool is a thing of the past.

Now for the irritating noise......
