Though I haven't read far enough to tell if this is confirmed or not, I don't see it posted here so I'm assuming it hasn't been.

When the scouts leave wall Rose and their formation is attacked by the 'female titan', she launches her initial attack on the right flank. This area just so happens to be the location where Reiner believed Eren to be (each of the soldiers had been told something different). Just before he, Armin and Jean confront the female titan in order to buy the group time, Armin tells him that Eren's squad is probably in the rear-center of the formation. Reiner attacks her head-on and is apparently caught for a moment before he breaks free, but in reality he was obviously telling her where Eren really was since she immediatly turned around and went straight for him.

From this, it seems like Reiner ratted out everything he knew about the mission and played a major part in the attack. I thought this part was very well done since I didn't notice that he had been acting suspiciously until they mentioned there must be a traitor in their midst near the end of the battle, then I went back and read that chapter again :P
