Those slaves under the flood plate are pretty dry on the outside. Nothing in the boot.

I took the dash off and found one of the larger hydraulic hoses' outer jacket is cracking and I can see the lighter color inner jacket and it's a bit moist there. I believe that may be the leak. I'll have to watch it.

The fluid on the floor is the color of the hydraulic fluid (clear/yellow), not the DOT5 (purple) in the reservoir but I have a sneaky suspicion someone put AW46 fluid in the brake system. None the less, I flushed & bled the brake system with DOT5 twice now and will do it again at the end of the week. I will see if any purple leaks show up.

I took the inside right side panel off and and found the controller and a loose wire but I am unsure where it goes. I'll post that in a new thread later on.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
