Leaking boot

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some help here. The boot on my S1 (boot bag model) leaks.
I have at look in the forums and in most cases the pointer is to the drain pipe.
My drain pipe is connected ok.
I have come to the conclusion that the water may be sitting in the boot lip then capillary action is drawing it up the boot bag lip and from there it is flowing down the outside of the boot bag and pooling on the boot floor befor soaking into ther boot bag. has this happened to any of you? does anyone have a solution?

It happens to mine if i park with 2 wheels up on the kerb. Or if it's sittin for a few days it seems to built up condensation on the underside of the engine cover and drips into the boot. Never really looked into fixing it, apart from checking the drain hose is on properly, as you've done.

I have a slanted driveway and have to wash the car with the front facing down the hill. Learned the hard way with my boot flooding

Mine is often full of water and the drain is fine. Might even drill a couple of holes in the boot plate to let it out. It can't get any fekking worse!
