Not sure how likely this is but spoiler could possibly leak through fixings but check the rubber boot seal itself and also that there is no rust around the seal/weld... it might be getting through the metalwork itself?!?

I had the same problem mate. Just after i bought it my boot was leaking. The car had only done 14K. So i got straight on the phone to the dealer who was very helpfull and offered me to take it back. He guaranteed me it was the boot rubber. So i bought a rubber from subaru and he told me to apply rtv sealent. NO MORE LEAKS PERFECT.

If you need any advice private msg me your no

THANKS :lol:
