taillight gaskets? thats a common prob on older hondas. take out the
taillights, look at the foam rubber gaskets. rub em down with some clear
or black GE 20-yr silicone caulk, then run a small bead on top.
reinstall, and tighten. the vinegar smell will go away after a day or 2.

Through the taillight assembly is a common route. Another is through
the drain tubes for the sun roof of you have one.

 OK, now for the redneck way, (if you can fit)
Get into the trunk, close the lid and have someone you TRUST to spray water
on the car. Start around the taillights and work up, On my 75 Celica, it
was the rear window seal leaking.

 could be taillite gaskets like someone mentioned but don't waste your time
reusing them or coat with silicone cause they will be most likely be
cracked
just by new ones from dealer they are only 5-6 dollars each and could
save you future headaches
