Oil Leak ?

[SearsK]

I've got an slight oil drip on my floor mat, just under the accelerator. Can't tell exactly where it's coming from, any ideas?

I would look directly above it, could be too much grease on the steering joints?

Hydro-boost leak?

You will be soon. It's the part of the power steering circuit that supplies hydraulic boost to the brakes.

Seems to be slightly leaking from a piece attached to the brake pedal. The part is black plastic connected to metal. Just barely a drip, looks like it's seeping out where the metal and plastic join.

I think I've found my problem. There is a bracket attached to the brake pedal arm that holds a motor and worm gear to adjust the accelerator and brake pedal. The motor is in a plastic case attached to the metal bracket with two torques head screws. One was a little loose. Tightened it up gently, wiped off the oil drop. We will see if that fixes it. Can't tell for sure if the plastic motor case is cracked.
