It's most likely your tail lights leaking into your trunk. The I30 has a pannel on the trunk lid as well. That might be the cause being your already seeing water in it. The tail lights on the body of the car is another source for water to get into the trunk. The black gue that seals the assembly to the car is called dumdum. You can get a package of it at most auto parts stores. Just put a new strip over the old stuff and bolt the light assembly back onto the car.
A good way to find the source is by removing the trunk pannels around the lights and locking yourself or a friend in the trunk with a flash light. Then have a friend spray water directly onto all the cracks around all the lights. When he hits the right spot, you'll see the water come into the trunk.
Good luck!
