I had this fault for me it was the boot rubber seal leaking. the water was behind the carpet to the right of the boot. Water was causing a fault in the reversing sensor control unit i just disconnected it.

my battery is at 12.5V my voltmeter is showing 0.38amps drainage is this normal i know for most cars it should be around 0.05(50milliamps) my reading is about 8 times normal unless 0.38Amps for a '99 cdt without navigation TV, webasto(FBH) fuse out, is normal, is it?

It's not Normal. --Much too high.

0.05 is much more like it.
