Water in the spare tire area

Went to change the battery and found quite a bit of water in there. Has anyone encountered this before? Just checking to see before I start ripping things apart.
Also where does the sunroof gutter train to?

Do a search. I’ve posted up the drain location pictures several times over the years.

The drain tubes are inside the car until they reach the exit point. Could be leaking from the tube somewhere.
This only shows the right side drain tubes. There are similar tubes for the left side of the car. They just aren't in this picture.
Front 2 drains are at the A pillar left and right sides. Back 2 drains exit between the body and the bumper.
Other possible leak areas are the hatch weather seal. Spoiler bolt holes. Rear window washer fluid tube.
