Boot Leaking - From around the key hole!

I've been getting a bit of water in the boot of my car.

After a bit of investigation (pouring water on to specific areas with paper towels inside the boot!) I managed to trace it to the water running in around the boot key area. You can actually see the water draining around the key hole

I've not removed the lock assembly yet.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was the fix?

BTW Car is only 3 months old but MMC is too far to take it back for a fix.

Small amount of clear glue/sealant round the outter rim (just avoid the lock itself obv!) and you'll be good as new

maybe it's rusty

The paper towels and pouring water on sounds like a good plan, my g/fs mx5 boot is always wet, and i was wondering how to find the leak
