My 1999 mk 4 VW Golf convertible looses hydraulic fluid from the resevoir in the power hood motor located in the boot. Eventually the power hood doesnt operate and the motor just runs without the hood moving. The fluid appears to end up in the rear footwell of the car, not in the boot.

Has anyone seen this before, can you suggest what I should be looking for, any tips.

Gratefull for any advice
