only thing up that way is brake fluid. :(  so check under the dash for

Option 1, Steering rack
Option 2, Clutch master and brake fluid coming through floor or steering

OK...Stupid, but I left 2/3 qt of oil under the drivers seat and it opened.
Always checking my driveway for leaks and thought "Now what"...Realized leak
coming from box under drivers' seat.  :-))))
