To get at the area you will probably have to remove the inner ring and the join covering moulds. Other than that there should be no other way for the water to come in.

little bit confused as to exactly where you mean - do you have a photo John? i had waterproofing tape in all the joints of the segments and used a sealant for the outside - but i have nothing (no sealant) where the wheels run. the water came in through the bolt holes, and the lower hinge area.
as for the water in the storage space - dont know? the base was dry the walls were dry but the inside sloping surface was damp? the central pier area was bone dry
