I think my car is leaking!!
The trunkcompartmentfloor is wet. I think it's comming from the wheels when the street is wet, or something like that.
Does anyone know what to do about it?

^ yup. check the flap between the window and the lid too. If that ever froze and you opened it while it was frozen, It might have ripped, and could be causing your leak.

The only thing I can suggest is it may be the Trunk Weatherstripping, to check..on a Sunny day close the Trunk with the rear Seats folded down & from inside car look into the Trunk for any light showing through also do the same with a Water Sprinkler running over the Trunk.
Check under Trunk Weatherstripping for Rust or holes.
Next is obvious: look for Rust Especially on the lower part of the Trunk.
Check Trunk Seams for missing or deteriorated Seam Sealer & fix with some new Seam Sealer or whatever is appropriate.

Talk about moisture in the trunk, my daughter was playing with my keys last night and must of hit the trunk button so it was open all night, I go out in the morning and my trunk is filled with snow.

ya, i had a samll leak in my trunk, it was the seal around the trunk, it wasnt seated right.
my problem was in a corner, when the car was parked on a bit of an angle, the water pooled in the corner around the trunk, then when there was enough water it leaked over the top of the seal and into the trunk.

i did have a water leak in the trunk but after adjusting the trunk seal by adjusting the trunk lid it went away.
