I remember a thread on here where it went all the way from early classic to hawkeye and everyones boot smelt like a dead dog. Mine leaks now and again. Rear lights are a favourite source if I remember correctly. Must check mine now / bail it out

Dean my 53 UK STI leaked from round the boot seal at the top left hand corner (as you face the rear of the car). A new seal sorted it.
Spray a hose on it there and see if water pours in or not.
