A good news update!

I went over to my mechanic's shop today and we determined it is only a leak from the hydraulic line that is pressurized. In fact, it doesn't even leak unless you completely turn the wheel to one side or the other. Then you can see it coming out.

That explains why it's not leaking during normal operations. But did leak those times yesterday - when I was turning in and out of those 2 driveways.

In fact - looking back - the first driveway I had to wait for traffic to go by before I could back in so the wheel was indeed turned hard to one side on that one. Second stop almost the same thing.

I poured some citrus degreaser on the first spot this morning and it did the trick. Will do the other driveway later today.

A replacement hose will be here tomorrow so I can either do the job over the weekend or take it to my mechanic on Monday.

In the meantime everything is back to normal - as long as I don't turn the wheel all the way over to one side or the other.

You know - that line probably suffered the same fate as my brake lines did. A corrosive environment where I live.

Also - turns out my brake booster is not hydraulic so no worries there either.
