Im just trying to figure out what this is that the water is coming from... At first I thought it was gas but it has no smell at all and is clear, so pretty sure its just water, but why?? I got down and looked at it and theres a little round thing its dripping from... heres a picture

that looks like the rubber grommet in the spare wheel well in the trunk.. go into your truck and see if there is a pool of water. maybe you have a leak in the trunk

That gasket is weird because I replaced it with a new one from Nissan and I still have water coming up into my trunk somehow.

Yeah the first time i noticed the water it was totally dry outside and my trunk was completely empty, so I guess ill see if this persists

Water will not come 'up' into your trunk with that grommet installed. It will come 'down' into your trunk when the weather seals around the trunk lid shit the bed ;)
