Water ingress to the rear light cluster

I noticed this week, I had a tidemark in the driver's rear light cluster.

I flushed the dirt out of the whole unit and filled it with water and looked for a seal edge leak, but nothing showed. That leaves the rear bulb holder unit and its rubber seal, letting water by?

I am thinking water gets behind the cluster and works its way behind the black rubber seal and into the cluster??

Is there a way to prevent this happening again, or is it a 2mm hole in the lowest part of the back of the plastic cluster housing?

Also the tracks are slightly corroded, i cleaned them up with some scotch bright, do i need to repaint the galv coating?
