Doggy doggy what now...the black goop covered over patches of beautiful clean metal that looked like they have never been painted from the factory!

Thanks Mike....that is what happened, indeed it is still a leak. The entire boot is dry after washing other than that exact spot.
No visible boot seal damage but I will have to find someone small enough to shove in the boot with a candle to find the leak. :0)

If your weatherstrip around the trunk is broken or torn you might try to glue it back together with some 3M™ Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive taking care not to glue the cavity shut. Once repaired, you could use a strip of flat neoprene foam weatherstripping (buy it at a caravan shop) on top of the old weatherstrip or on the boot lid to make sure there's a good, tight seal between the boot lid and the luggage compartment. Alternatively, you could order a replacement trunk seal from the Fiero Store. (Pricey but worth the money.) I have new seals on both of my GT's and the compartment stays absolutely dry in the rain and when I wash the cars.
