Leak from ?

[Jim Stanley]

I was under my 90 Z this morning and saw a leak coming from a housing behind the drivers seat. I am not sure what is in this housing or what is leaking. Note: there is never anything showing on the garage floor, so it must be minor. Please look at the photo and let me know what's going on.
Thanks,
jim

You should be able to feel the oil and tell if it’s brake fluid. Brake fluid oil has that almost sticky dryness to it. Unlike regular or engine oil which is more slippery. Given the leaks location brake fluid from the ABS system is highly likely. Did you look in the compartment behind the driver seat?

Thanks for you responses! What a great forum!
It does feel like brake fluid. I wiped it clean and will monitor. There was nothing in the storage compartment. Fluid is full in the reservoirs. Anyone ever had this before? How concerned should I be? Thanks again! Jim

I am probably commenting on the obvious here. If so I apologize. I am prone to those "DUH" moments sometimes myself.
The ABS unit is under the storage tray behind the drivers seat. Just pull the tray out and there it is.
Here's a pic of what you should see. This is from an early number '90.

Now I understand, sorry I didn't know there was anything there. But there must be if it's leaking brake fluid, duh! I will investigate at first opty.
