1999 S-type battery discharge

Last week I discovered a rain leak in the boot, which I understand from forums is not uncommon. The battery had gone flat which I put down to the damp in the boot. I dried the boot.
I fully recharged the battery, drove the car fine. Covered it for the week, to keep out any more rain, but alas when trying it tonight the battery was again flat. Is there any chance of the wiring causing a short in the boot? Is this also common? or do I have a battery problem, the battery is only 6 months old.
