Clk hydraulic roof leak

My clk 320 has leaked a load of hydraulic fluid from the front of the roof dripping from both sides onto driver and passenger what could be the cause please mercades said the cylinder in the boot but that's dry and as it's coming from the front of the roof I'm thinking it's the front lock cylinder. Is that right ? Thanks

This place is a joke.
Must be a 209 as the 208 has a manual front latch

hydraulic fluid roof leak

Once they start leaking hydraulic fluid from one of the pumps you have to change them all (9 - total I believe), as those original seals just don't last forever. If you change just one or two it puts stress on the others and they eventually start leaking too. There is a place in Oregon that everybody uses that rebuilds your old ones and use better seals than original. Do this all once and never look back, otherwise you are in store for constant grief. This is common knowledge for this roof issue. Good luck
