The spare is in a well right? I think the first thing to check is the gasket on the tail gate. If it leaks the water will run in there, it's a gravity thing :D

Might be worth checking the edge/seam, of the wheel hole is properly sealed too ... in case the road wheels are throwing a bit up there ??

Tailgate seal and gravity are most probably the issue tho .. :D

That's the WJ right? If there's a window washer bottle for the rear window back there it may have gotten a crack or maybe a seal started leaking along its path. I don't know if the WJs have one back there or not, just something that popped in my mind.
