I believe the drain is toward the front of the well (neer the rear wheel) at the deepest point. You should be able to see it under the car.

Actually, you cant. The rear drains dump into the rocker panel(s) just forward of the fender wells, and drains through some louvers.
Regardless, I guess this car doesn't have a sunroof.

I think I'd drill a small drain hole in the bottom of the tire well until you can find the point of entry. I suspect it is in the typical location below the rear window at the outboard edges.
