Water dripping out of tailgate - Is this normal?

Every time I open the tailgate I get a small dribble out of the bottom edge of the door near the hinge. It seems to be coming from a drain hole between the inner and outer door skins. Presumably this should not be happening? Where does the water enter into the door?

Its a 2003 and the glass rubber looks mint. I also just replaced the rubber gasket around the door release molding. Could it be the spare tyre bracket bolt holes? It does look a bit crusty there.

Joking apart, as I too have a D2, this could be it.
Take the wheel etc off and stick a load of gunk in the holes, silicone sealant or whatever then see how you get on.
This may well just be a question of a process of elimination.
Best of luck mate.
