[DML] Oil residue pooling behind foot pedals

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't determined which linkage is related to this yet, but wanted 
to ask the group.  I noticed a little pooling of what looked like oil 
behind the foot pedals under an area where linkage passes through the 
foot well.  The linkage had what looked like a little rubber boot that 
appeared to be where the oil was presented from.  It was oily around 
the little boot, and seemed to drip to a recessed area below it where 
is formed a small puddle.  The carpet below didn't seem affected, but 
I may have noticed the floor mat having a greasy feeling to the touch, 
but nothing major.

Is it common to have "fluid" passing through the wall behind the 
pedals?  Could is  be something leaking from the brake or clutch fluid 
fill-up areas?  I'll probably figure it out once I have a chance to 
dig into it a little, but it's nice to have some expectations going in.

Thanks,

Paul
