Roof hydraulic leaks
 
This morning I noticed some fluid in the overhead console, and that is likely the reason why the top wont open...
I took a tissue and wiped out the fluid; but in this forum owners are talking about green fluid? Is it really green?
Mine is more light brown/ gold like typical hydraulic fluid.
Next thing I did was getting to the trunk and opening the petcock to release pressure.
I saw I am missing the allen wrench key. Does anyone knows what size it is?
Any comment is appreciated....

The early versions of these cars indeed came with brownish or amber colored hydraulic fluid. The newer green colored fluid supposedly does not gel over time as the previous fluid did....
