	I think it goes over the roof on the driver's side. Check for the leak inside the tailgate first because that more likely. If that is ok have a look in the conduit where it leaves the tailgate in case it's fractured and running back into the tailgate. It sounds like the water is lying in the tailgate and leaking out when you open it. You can usually put a short repair section in with a couple of straight connectors. If the leak is inside the conduit don't put the connectors inside it (use a longer section of new pipe to span the conduit) because there isn't much room in there plus the repair won't flex properly and will break again.
