My case was definitely the hose coming from the evaporator core, but the Antenna seal would be another weak point. Before I figured it out, I was imagining all sorts of possibilities, like leaks being caused by taking the car through the car wash. I do get a little of fluid around the top of the trunk seal when it goes through the car wash, but not when the car gets washed with a hose. I think this may relate to the pressure of the drier fans flexing the trunk lid. I would guess in that regard that the sunroof is another weak point.
