better off buying replacement hoses from either Cabriolet Hydraulics or Tops on line. The other option is if there is a hydraulic shop local to you that could make replacement hoses for you

Splice kit is inviting trouble.

Looks like I have aa hydraulic leak near my left foot in the area of the hood release. The carpet in the area seems wet, and I have just had to add fluid to the reservoir. Has anyone else had a similar leak? So far no overhead 'Green Shower'.

I think that is right were the latch hoses come down and then run under the seats to the trunk... better than a green shower mess-wise but it still looks like you need to replace them

I went with the Tops hoses and rebuilt rams and latch and have no worries anymore.

If I were a betting man I would say your car has a splice kit installed. The left foot area A Piller is where the splices were connected.
