What is this Gunk Under Trunk Liner?
When I bought my car I took the trunk liner out to replace the battery and I saw a small brown puddle underneath. I assumed there was some water intrusion (although it was more black than the reddish brown of corrosion) so I cleaned it up and decided to keep an eye on it. After a few heavy rain storms and car washes I checked again and there is no new water at all. I took a picture of the stain left behind from the first puddle. It looks like an oily sealant around the studs or maybe still corrosion? Also what are those whitish plugs in the trunk floor?

The white plugs look almost like caulk or something. You do know that a lot of the assembly of our Jaguars is actually done with an exotic, high strength adhesive. Perhaps that is some residue from the trunk section being glued down to the section below ? I'd probably not worry about it but keep an eye out for any future reoccurrence of whatever the leak was.
