Identify the oil leak
#21
I think the limited editions had this as an option.
Hope it is as simple as a spilled container of oil. And...I'm jealous of the upcoming Tuscany trip. Do take pictures, we'll all want to see them. Add them to this link: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...r-today-77347/

Top fluid can be squeezed out of either cylinder between the piston and cylinder walls If the micro switches for the top latch fail, or for any reason the top mechanism freezes while the pump continues to pressurize the system. I had this happen a couple of times.
Top frooze in place while being raised, but the motor and pump kept running. It was an intermittent event so I didn't worry to much. However, a few days later I saw spots on the garage floor. Like you, after pulling the rear seats and speaker housings, I saw the fluid collected in the lower cavities. After cleaning this up, there was no more leaking... until one day the mechanism again froze with the motor and pump operating at full pressure. Hope this helps.
