Glad the video helped...and that you got the leak sorted before you got on the road. Assume you replaced with the brake fluid-safe lines. They're usually blue...
@iankarr - SeƱor Ian, thanks not only for the video but for your input. The video gives one a great 'baseline', especially if the viewer isn't/wasn't familiar with the power bleeder. Brake fluid lines replaced, simple enough, though now I need a new reservoir.
For the record, when draining the reservoir, I used your syringe method and it worked well enough to get 90% of the fluid out. Thanks for the helpful tip.

I had the same leak from my reservoir a couple of years ago
I'd recommend you pull the pedal board and look under it.
when my reservoir leaked, it ran down the seam on the inside fender well, where it connects to the floor board behind the pedals.
I had dripping brake fluid on my skid pan
but also found a pool near the pedals... that had seeped through that spot welded seam into the interior compartment under the wooden pedal board.
@brant - This is very-helpful, thanks. Mine did the same, exited out the drain for the fresh-air blower on the bottom of the gas-tank area and pooled just below the car. I didn't think about the space behind the pedals and I'll check there this evening. Did you have any trouble with your wiring harness after? I just installed the tank and put 8-or-so gallons in, and would hate to have to unwrap the harness.
