Excellent place to start.

Also, be advised that you may not be able to satisfactorily reproduce
such a leak with a garden hose in your driveway, so don't assume you've
eliminated this potential location if you can't do so. Trunk leaks on
the rear face of the car frequently need the "vacuum" effect of being at
speed to act up, and you can't diagnostically replicate such conditions
without very foolishly risking your life.
